A new touch-sensing glove can feel pressure and other tactile stimuli, researchers report. The glove has applications for those with motor function disorders and could be adapted from virtual reality gaming experiences.
Researchers have created a new model that may help explain how the brain stores memories of tangible events. The new model explains how neural activity in the hippocampus can help map space, time and context in episodic memories.
Friends who "swapped bodies" using virtual reality to generate the perceptual illusion found their beliefs about their personalities altered to become more similar to the beliefs about their friends' personalities. Findings suggest that when our mental self-concept doesn't match our physical self, our memories become impaired.
Immersive virtual reality that focuses on anger exposure training may have a positive effect as a treatment for anger management.
New findings from virtual reality study could help provide treatments for those with memory problems, study reports.
A new study investigates how we are able to assess new locations and become orientated with the help of visual cues.
A new study reveals preference of odors can flip, depending on the situation.
People with mild cognitive impairment who had positive biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease in their cerebrospinal fluid performed worse on virtual reality navigation tasks. Virtual reality which incorporates navigational tasks could prove a helpful tool in the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease for those at risk.
Using a combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation and virtual reality, researchers have helped to reduce anxiety in people with panic disorders.
Combining virtual reality with neuroimaging, researchers identify how the brain perceives and remembers a novel place or landscape.
Researchers create a multisensory virtual reality environment in order to better understand how the brain processes spatial navigation and the anticipation of important events.
Virtual reality rehabilitation software could greatly advance stroke recovery, researchers say.
