Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Music Education

Background:

  • Virtual Reality (VR) offers novel training paradigms.
  • VR's potential impact on fine motor skills and reaction time is an emerging area of research.
  • Music students require high levels of dexterity, hand-eye coordination, and reaction time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effect of immersive VR training on hand-eye coordination and reaction time.
  • To assess the efficacy of the music game "Beat Saber" for skill enhancement in music students.

Main Methods:

  • A single-group pre-post study design was employed.
  • 14 music school students participated in 15-minute daily VR sessions for 5 consecutive days.
  • Reaction time was measured using the Plate-Tapping Test (PTT) and Ditrich's Ruler-Drop Test.
  • Hand-eye coordination and visual attention were assessed with the Trial-Making Test (TMT) A and B.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant improvements were observed in TMT-A (p < 0.002) and TMT-B (p < 0.001) scores.
  • Significant enhancements in reaction time were noted for the non-dominant hand using Ditrich's test (p = 0.025) and the PTT (p = 0.0001).
  • The VR intervention demonstrated a positive effect on the measured psychomotor skills.

Conclusions:

  • Immersive VR training, specifically with the music game "Beat Saber", can effectively improve hand-eye coordination and reaction time in music students.
  • These findings suggest VR as a valuable tool for enhancing motor skills relevant to musical instrument proficiency.
  • VR-based training may offer a supplementary method for accelerating the learning curve in young musicians.
