Inexpensive, commercial video games may help those suffering from anxiety and depression to combat their symptoms. Researchers found that, in addition to conventional games, virtual reality games could help people overcome mental health problems.
Researchers reveal how participating in a group virtual reality experience can produce responses similar to those triggered by psychedelics.
Combining neuroimaging and a constructed virtual reality town, researchers found the brain uses three different systems to perceive environment. One system allows us to recognize a place, another helps navigate through that location, and the third helps navigate from one place to another. The parahippocampal place area (PPA) helps encode location recognition, while the retrosplenial complex allows for mentally mapping the locations of specific places.
Researchers will unveil a new immersive VR system that allows users a unique way to interact with 3D anatomical brain data at Neuroscience 2017.
