Researchers from the Neuroimaging Center at New York University Abu Dhabi, in cooperation with their colleagues in the Virtual Brain Project at the University of Wisconsin, have developed unique interactive graphics based on 3D technology to enable students to learn about the structure and function of the cognitive systems in the human brain.
The study reveals how students respond to lessons that are displayed on computers and virtual reality, which highlights the benefits that can be exploited by using virtual reality technology as one of the effective educational tools.
Under the supervision of Associate Professor of Psychology and Director of the Center for Neuroimaging at NYU Abu Dhabi Bas Ruckers and Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Discovery Institute Karen Schloss, the researchers published their findings in a new research paper for the University of Wisconsin Virtual Brain Project titled “Methodology”. Interactive Teaching Functions of Neuroanatomy,” in a journal of the American Psychological Association that focuses on translational issues in the psychological sciences.
The researchers found, through their experiments, that the participants showed a good and similar response when learning based on content using computers or virtual reality devices.
Despite this, the study showed that virtual reality technology provides a better experience than computers when learning experience-based, as virtual reality technology provided an enjoyable and more user-friendly experience.
It is worth noting that 3D videos are used frequently in neuroanatomy classes at both the University of Wisconsin and NYU Abu Dhabi.
• The experience demonstrates the benefits of virtual reality technology.
