Prefrontal cortex activation mediates cognitive reserve alertness and attention in the Virtual Classroom: preliminary fMRI findings and clinical implications
TL;DR: This feasibility study sought to establish a neuroimaging correlate of previous pilot work using the Virtual Classroom paradigm to study performance decrements in alertness and sustained attention, and hypothesized a thalamocortical network subserving alertness, primarily mediated by activation of prefrontal cortex under differing distraction levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Reported Differences in Personality, Emotion Control, and Presence Between Pre-Military and Non-Military Groups in a Pilot Study Using the Stress Resilience in Virtual Environments (STRIVE) System.
TL;DR: This short-paper looks at self-reported differences in personality, emotion control, and presence between two different groups, pre-military and non-military, of pilot subjects that tested a prototype of the first four modules of STRIVE.
Virtual Reality Assessment of Cognitive Functions: A Promising Tool to Improve Ecological Validity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use cognitive tests to assess the severity of functional impairment following traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in service members deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF).
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimizing Clinical Training for the Treatment of PTSD Using Virtual Patients.
Patrick G. Kenny,Thomas D. Parsons,Barbara O. Rothbaum,JoAnn Difede,Greg M. Reger,Albert Rizzo +5 more
TL;DR: This pilot project builds on previous work done with virtual patients and describes a novel scenario wherein a virtual patient is immersed within an exposure therapy simulation while a clinician interacts and guides the virtual patient through the recovery process using exposure therapy for PTSD.
