Nervous system correlates of virtual reality experience
Luigi Pugnetti, Laura Mendozzi, E Barberi, F. David Rose, Elizabeth A. Attree · 1996
In recent years several papers have been published in which the effect of exposure to virtual reality (VR) on the activity of the nervous system have been discussed. This area of knowledge is of importance to those interested in VR applications, and especially to those who seek to apply VR to cognitive rehabilitation following brain damage. This paper reviews what is known about the effects on nervous system activity of the interaction with virtual environments, comments on the authors’ experience with both normal and neurologically impaired subjects, and outlines a suggested programme for future research.
