Virtual environments (VEs) offer real-time interaction with 3-D computer-generated worlds. Research explores their use in neuroscience for studying and rehabilitating cognitive and functional abilities.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Virtual environments (VEs) enable real-time navigation and interaction with 3-D computer-generated stimuli.
  • VEs are increasingly utilized in medicine for surgical training and augmented surgery, emphasizing hand-eye coordination.
  • Emerging research investigates VEs for studying and rehabilitating human cognitive and functional activities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight recent and ongoing research on the applications of VEs in neuroscience.
  • To focus on American and European initiatives in VE research for neuroscience.
  • To provide an introduction to virtual reality (VR) and its impact on cognitive and functional abilities.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current research projects and initiatives in VE applications for neuroscience.
