| Abstract | Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by a progressive degeneration of the nervous system and as a consequence, of the brain function (Batista and Pereira, 2016). Such degeneration may affect body movement and brain function, causing an important and progressive decline of the cognitive functions such as memory, thinking, behaviour, language, calculation, learning, and emotion capacity (Chekani et al., 2016). The life expectancy of patients presenting neurodegenerative diseases, and the incidence of these has increased over the years, representing one of the most important medical and socioeconomic problems of our time (Batista and Pereira, 2016). The rehabilitation process of these patients is long and the assessment periods and follow-up are time consuming for both patients and clinicians. In this regard, the development of new technologies in the last two decades had led to the introduction of different technological devices to enhance the clinical outcomes of conventional clinical interventions, and to facilitate clinical assessments to the clinicians (Moccia et al., 2021). Some of these technological solutions for rehabilitation includes virtual reality, robotic device, non-invasive brain stimulation systems such as transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), functional electrostimulation techniques, or brain computer interfaces (BCI) (Weiss et al., 2014;Matamala-Gomez et al., 2018;Tamburin et al., 2019).

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
