Abstract
The article explores the link between neuroscience and the design fields by discussing works on predictive brain, conscious mind, perception, and peripersonal space to increase bodily self-consciousness in the virtual world. Unlike the physical reality, the virtual world often lacks the intricate bodily feedback necessary for self-consciousness, thus resulting in less complete virtual representations. By incorporating findings from neuroscience and the virtual world, this research suggests a theoretical approach to enhance bodily self-consciousness in different virtual worlds, particularly augmented or diminished mixed realities and holistic virtual reality. This is achieved through synchronous multisensory stimulation (visuo-tactile), interoceptive feedback, and peripersonal space expansion (visuo-tactile and audio–tactile). As a narrative review, the article not only suggests a theoretical method but also highlights the potential for future practical experiments to apply these insights.
期刊介绍:
Computers in Human Behavior is a scholarly journal that explores the psychological aspects of computer use. It covers original theoretical works, research reports, literature reviews, and software and book reviews. The journal examines both the use of computers in psychology, psychiatry, and related fields, and the psychological impact of computer use on individuals, groups, and society. Articles discuss topics such as professional practice, training, research, human development, learning, cognition, personality, and social interactions. It focuses on human interactions with computers, considering the computer as a medium through which human behaviors are shaped and expressed. Professionals interested in the psychological aspects of computer use will find this journal valuable, even with limited knowledge of computers.
