TRAINING PHASE. An artificial neural network is formed with the number of input neurons (NX) equals to (n-1) and the number of output neurons (NZ) equals to the number of possible results: 0, 1 and DEFAULT. Hence if we adopt an XXX with one hidden layer, the number of hidden neurons (Yj) equals to J(n+2)/2]. When the network architecture is ready, we select the binary sigmoid function (p) as in Eq.

TRAINING PHASE. Before presenting the game plan, tailored on the specific user profile, the training phase will be devoted to illustrate to participants the use of the tablet, related to cognitive games, in order to make them familiar with the device and get to know the different scenarios available. The staff will also monitor and strengthen the capacity of each participant to handle electronic devices, assessing at the same time their willingness and motivation to actively participate to the project. Subjects will be shown the whole range of serious games, at the easiest level available. The reason is that at this stage the main goal is not the cognitive stimulation, but the education on how to use and browse the platform. During the last training days, participants will be provided with their personalised games library, highlighting the frequency of use (how often, how many games they should play). The staff member will always be present every day in a prearranged time frame, and will provide support to the user, especially for clarifying possible doubts and motivating him/her to play. From day 11 to day 18 participants will be involved in exploring the different scenarios (valid for all the 3 protocols) and the whole range of serious games created for the DOREMI cognitive protocol.
