Triggering and measuring social inhibitory response in humans immersed in interactions with virtual humans (2017)
Journal Article
Ahamba, G., Roberts, D., & Eachus, P. (2017). Triggering and measuring social inhibitory response in humans immersed in interactions with virtual humans. Annual review of cybertherapy and telemedicine (Print), 15, 185-188

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...

Neural basis of virtual reality exposure threatment (2017)
Journal Article
Landowska, A., Roberts, D., & Eachus, P. (2017). Neural basis of virtual reality exposure threatment. Annual review of cybertherapy and telemedicine (Print), 15, 16-18

Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) is an increasingly common treatment for a range of anxiety disorder, specific phobias, PTSD and addictions, however neural mechanisms supporting VRET are yet to be understood. This review summarises existing st... Read More about Neural basis of virtual reality exposure threatment.

Testing the potential of combining functional near-infrared spectroscopy with different virtual reality displays - Oculus Rift and oCtAVE (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Landowska, A., Royle, W., Eachus, P., & Roberts, D. (2017, February). Testing the potential of combining functional near-infrared spectroscopy with different virtual reality displays - Oculus Rift and oCtAVE. Presented at International AR & VR Conference, Manchester, United Kingdom

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.
