Abstract

The integration of virtual, mixed, and augmented reality technologies in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology represents a transformative frontier. In this Commentary, we conducted a meta-analysis of studies that explored the impact of Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Augmented Reality (AR) on cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology. Our review highlights the versatile applications of VR, ranging from spatial cognition assessments to rehabilitation for Traumatic Brain Injury. We found that MR and AR offer innovative avenues for cognitive training, particularly in memory-related disorders. The applications extend to addressing social cognition disorders and serving as therapeutic interventions for mental health issues. Collaborative efforts between neuroscientists and technology developers are crucial, with reinforcement learning and neuroimaging studies enhancing the potential for improved outcomes. Ethical considerations, including informed consent, privacy, and accessibility, demand careful attention. Our review identified common aspects of the meta-analysis, including the potential of VR technologies in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology, the use of MR and AR in memory research, and the role of VR in neurorehabilitation and therapy.

虚拟现实、混合现实和增强现实：关于其在认知神经科学和神经心理学中的意义的评论。

虚拟现实、混合现实和增强现实技术与认知神经科学和神经心理学的结合代表了一个变革性的前沿领域。在本评论中，我们对探讨虚拟现实（VR）、混合现实（MR）和增强现实（AR）对认知神经科学和神经心理学影响的研究进行了荟萃分析。我们的综述强调了 VR 的广泛应用，从空间认知评估到创伤性脑损伤的康复治疗。我们发现，磁共振和增强现实技术为认知训练，尤其是记忆相关疾病的认知训练提供了创新途径。其应用范围还可扩展到解决社会认知障碍和作为心理健康问题的治疗干预措施。神经科学家和技术开发人员之间的合作至关重要，强化学习和神经成像研究可提高改善结果的潜力。伦理方面的考虑，包括知情同意、隐私和可及性，都需要认真对待。我们的综述确定了荟萃分析的共同点，包括 VR 技术在认知神经科学和神经心理学中的潜力、MR 和 AR 在记忆研究中的应用以及 VR 在神经康复和治疗中的作用。

期刊介绍： pplied Neuropsychology-Adult publishes clinical neuropsychological articles concerning assessment, brain functioning and neuroimaging, neuropsychological treatment, and rehabilitation in adults. Full-length articles and brief communications are included. Case studies of adult patients carefully assessing the nature, course, or treatment of clinical neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of scientific literature, are suitable. Review manuscripts addressing critical issues are encouraged. Preference is given to papers of clinical relevance to others in the field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further considerations are peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single-blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
