EEG Analysis on 3D Navigation in Virtual Realty with Different Perspectives

Abstract

In this paper we explore the relations between perspectives of navigation and electroencephalogram (EEG) in 3D virtual space. We analyze three types of navigation with EEG recordings and examine how the perspectives affect the users' electrical activities in their brains. Via a small-scale experiment, we find that the influence of peripersonal space is altered by the perspective, and it can be observed via EEG monitoring. These results have interesting implications on virtual reality applications where a sense of agency, or a peripersonal task takes important roles.
