Our research group is interested in determining how the mind and brain are impacted by exposure to virtual environments. The purpose of this study is to determine if there are differences in the way different people process virtual environments and whether there are individual differences in the way these experiences affect the way we think about, sense, perceive or interact with the real world.

Who can participate in this study?

This study is an option for healthy men and women aged 18 to 45 years old. You cannot participate if you have a mental health disorder, major medical or neurological disorder, or if you have certain other psychiatric conditions or a history of such conditions.

This study includes multiple experiments but you will be invited to participate in only one of them at a time. One experiment will involve playing a video game as well as completing a number of questionnaire measures and behavioural tasks in one visit that will take approximately 2 hours to complete. Another experiment will involve observing household objects in two contexts, completing a number of questionnaire measures, and completing a computer task over two visits (1 hour and 30 minutes respectively).
