Virtual Reality for Anxiety Reduction Demonstrated by Quantitative EEG: A Pilot Study

Tarrant Jeff, Viczko Jeremy, Cope Hannah · Frontiers in Psychology · 2018 · Context or measurement study

Original publication

Recorded summary

Both quiet rest and VR meditation reduced subjective anxiety. Some EEG measures differed after VR. Brain activity was recorded as an outcome, which is distinct from returning a live signal to the participant.

Recorded limitations

The researchers compared EEG recordings around the VR meditation and quiet-rest conditions.
