Virtual Reality (VR) Studies

This collection of studies, comprising VRMem, VREEG and VRCog, is attempting to validate a new Virtual Realty (VR) tool to explore new ways in which brain functions, such as attention and problem solving, can be evaluated and improved.

  • VRMem used VR to measure cognition in 6 different age groups in healthy participants.

  • VREEG used VR to compare cognition between healthy 20-30 year olds against healthy 60-70 year olds.

  • VRCog is using VR to measure and improve cognition in patients on the schizophrenic spectrum.
