Abstract
Recent cost reductions and technological advances have enabled the use of Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) to assess performance tasks in high-fidelity 3D environments. This review outlines the current state of its application in neurocognitive assessment and examines the integration of Artificial Intelligence algorithms and biomedical sensors to standardise laboratory testing. An AI-driven clinical decision-support system (aiCDSS-IVR) is introduced as a modular framework in which immersive virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and biometric sensors are integrated to construct a digital twin that combines behavioural and physiological data for clinical decision support. This technological ecosystem could facilitate a more personalised approach to the assessment and rehabilitation of brain injuries.
期刊介绍:
Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives.
The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
