The aim of the proposed study is to determine if a virtual human can evoke a measurable inhibitory response to anti-social stimuli within the prefrontal cortex. Justification, protocol and demonstrator are described here. The work follows a previo...

The aim of this pilot study was to assess the pros and cons of combining mobile neuroimaging with two different styles of highly immersive displays: one that is worn on the head; and the other that is entered. Specifically wearable Functional Near In... Read More about Testing the potential of combining functional near-infrared spectroscopy with different virtual reality displays - Oculus Rift and oCtAVE.
