Bayesian integration in sensorimotor learning
This study shows that during sensorimotor learning the brain combines task statistics and sensory uncertainty according to Bayesian principles.
Virtual Reality as a Nonpharmacological Tool for Acute Pain Management: A Scoping Review
VR is a promising nonpharmacological approach for managing acute pain through distraction, potentially complementing or reducing medication needs.
Virtual Reality as a Distraction Intervention to Relieve Pain and Distress During Medical Procedures
This review shows that immersive VR effectively reduces pain and distress during medical procedures, calling for larger long-term randomized studies.
Presence and Cybersickness in Virtual Reality Are Negatively Related: A Review
This review concludes that presence and cybersickness in VR are typically inversely related, driven by sensory integration and mismatch.
When Feeling Is More Important Than Seeing in Sensorimotor Adaptation
This study shows that vision and proprioception are integrated optimally when estimating hand position, with weighting varying by spatial direction.
Virtual Reality Technology for Physical and Cognitive Function Rehabilitation in People With Multiple Sclerosis
This review summarizes recent evidence on virtual reality training in multiple sclerosis, highlighting its potential to improve motor, sensory, and cognitive symptoms.
The Cognitive Affective Model of Immersive Learning (CAMIL)
This paper presents the CAMIL framework explaining how immersion, presence, and agency in IVR influence cognitive and affective factors to support learning outcomes and knowledge transfer.
Virtual Body Ownership Illusions for Mental Health: A Narrative Review
This review explores the use of virtual reality–induced body ownership illusions to improve mental health, summarizing current clinical evidence and identifying challenges for future research.
A Call to Unify Definitions of Virtual Reality
Virtual reality will be widely adopted by nursing within the next five years. The authors review various definitions and recommend use of the concepts immersion and presence as a way to define VR.
Neural basis of embodiment: distinct contributions of temporoparietal junction and extrastriate body area
This study demonstrates distinct neural mechanisms for embodiment and self-location, with the extrastriate body area supporting embodied self-location and the temporoparietal junction linked to disembodied perspectives.
