When humans generate stimuli voluntarily, they perceive the stimuli more weakly than those produced by others, which is called sensory attenuation (SA). SA has been investigated in various body parts, but it is unclear whether an extended body induce...
To effectively detect motion sickness induced by virtual reality environments, we developed a classification model specifically designed for visually induced motion sickness, employing a phase-locked value (PLV) functional connectivity matrix and a C...
Animals have exquisite control of their bodies, allowing them to perform a diverse range of behaviours. How such control is implemented by the brain, however, remains unclear. Advancing our understanding requires models that can relate principles of ...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review investigates the roles of artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) in enhancing cognitive pain therapy for chronic pain management. The work assesses current research, outlines benefits and limitations and ...

Lower limb impairments are common consequences of stroke. Robotics and virtual reality (VR) play crucial roles in improving lower limb function post-stroke. This review aims to assess the effects of combined robot and VR interventions on lower limb f...
BACKGROUND: Effective training in regional anaesthesia (RA) is paramount to ensuring widespread competence. Technology-based learning has assisted other specialties in achieving more rapid procedural skill acquisition. If applicable to RA, technology...
This study proposes an integrated ergonomic evaluation designed to identify unsafe postures, whereby postural risks during industrial work are assessed in the context of virtual reality-based smart manufacturing. Unsafe postures were recognised by id...
