Can Virtual-to-Reality technology prevent falls in older people? - online seminar We are excited to announce the next talk of the UNSW Ageing Futures Institute Seminar Series. The seminar, held virtually on Thursday 7 March 2024 (1pm-1:45pm AEDT), is titled Can Virtual-to-Reality technology prevent falls in older people? and will be presented by Dr Yoshiro Okubo who will highlight findings and outcomes of his research including a 2020 UNSW Ageing Futures Institute seed grant.

Next month, I will be at ACM SIGGRAPH in Denver, USA, to present our approach of neuro-engineered meditation for the study of bodily self-consciousness. When performed at a high level, meditation and contemplative practices can give rise to altered states of consciousness, the study of which is key for cognitive neurosciences. These effects indeed can help to better understand the underlying mechanisms of the self and its relation with the body. However, reaching those states is rare and thus hard to observe. They require intense practice and dedication, even among regular meditators. To make these specific states more accessible, we propose a new approach of a “neuro-engineered meditation”, bringing technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and biofeedback to give practitioners new perspectives over their practice, by targeting their own body and internal sensations. This project is a collaboration between All Here and the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience at EPFL. My talk, entitled “VR for Inward Contemplation”, will take place at the Four Seasons Hotel as part of the “Wish you VR here” session on Monday, July 29, from 3:45 PM to 5:15 PM.

🧠 Navigating the complexities of motion sickness in VR environments, this study leverages resting-state EEG to forge new paths in predictive analytics. Researchers demonstrated the potential of neurophysiological markers to anticipate VR-induced motion sickness. This exploration delves into the correlation between resting-state #EEG features, specifically the beta power spectrum in the left parietal area, and motion sickness ratings in a motion-simulated in-car #VR setting. The findings not only confirm the critical role of the left parietal area but also showcase the application of mobile EEG in predicting VR motion sickness with notable precision. 🔬 🔗 For an in-depth analysis of the methods and results, check out the study article here: https://lnkd.in/dAvvZBpD Congratulations to Gang Li, Yu-Kai Wang, Mark McGill, Katharina Pöhlmann, Steve Brewster, and Frank Pollick for their work on this fascinating study. #Research #Medtech #Electroceuticals #Technology #Healthtech #Healthcare #Science #Innovation #Study #ResearchArticle #Neuroscience #Neurotechnology #Electroencephalography #VirtualReality University of Glasgow, University of Technology Sydney, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute.

New scientific release ! 🎉 I'm excited to share our latest literature review, which provides a narrative review of ten years of research on complex walking tasks. In this comprehensive review, we propose an innovative conceptual model that incorporates cognitive aspects and introduce new clinical tests such as the Walking Stroop Carpet and the Walking Trail Making Test. These tools open up exciting clinical prospects for predicting cognitive impairment and fall risk, as well as for developing rehabilitation programs based on the complex walking paradigm. One of the most promising aspects is the application of Extended Reality (XR), which could transform clinical approach by making them more immersive and realistic. 🌐 🔍 Publication title: "Towards a comprehensive framework for complex walking tasks: Characterization, behavioral adaptations, and clinical implications in aging and neurological populations" published in Ageing Research Reviews (IF 12.5) This research is based on several ongoing projects in our Laboratoire HAVAE, such as #INCOME, #RAVIS, #TERAPACE, #PERACHUTE, and #PREFEAR. Many thanks to my coauthors Nathan Grosboillot Matthieu Gallou-Guyot Anouk Lamontagne Céline Bonnyaud Alexandra Perrot Gilles Allali for their invaluable collaboration! 🙏 📖 📖 A must-read for anyone interested in the future of complex walking tasks.

The feeling of #presence is a key aspect of #VR's cognitive impact and utility. But what are the #brain areas involved in the emergence of this feeling? Is it possible to identify neuronal correlates associated with it? Here is an interesting #paper involving #fMRI to explore this fundamental and at the same time borderline topic. #XR #virtualreality #neuroscience #research #technology

the Rubber Hand Illusion Discovered by Matthew Botvinick and Jonathan Cohen in 1998, this fascinating psychological phenomenon tricks our brain into feeling a fake hand as our own through synchronized visual and tactile stimulation. But what makes this illusion truly remarkable is its wide-ranging applications: - Neuroscience Research: Unveiling the brain's integration of sensory information. - Rehabilitation: Developing therapies for stroke patients and amputees. - VR and Robotics: Enhancing prosthetic design and virtual reality experiences. - Psychological Therapy: Addressing body dysmorphia and related disorders. The rubber hand illusion not only deepens our understanding of body perception but also paves the way for innovative treatments and technologies. #Neuroscience #Rehabilitation #VR #Prosthetics #BodyPerception #Innovation #Research

"Researchers successfully induced illusions of self-location in participants using multi-sensory virtual reality (VR). They observed corresponding changes in the brain’s grid cells, which are responsible for spatial navigation. This study is the first to demonstrate that purely cognitive changes in self-location, without physical movement or visual cues, can trigger activity in grid cells." #virtualreality #nervousystem #neuroscience #tech #brainhealth
