Dr. Maria Schultheis, associate professor of psychology, will give a brief overview of current virtual reality applications
in psychology and will explore the ways these technologies can enhance the study of human behavior.
Virtual reality (VR) technology is increasingly being
recognized as a useful tool for research, clinical
assessment and treatment of various psychological
processes. VR technologies allow psychologists to break
free of traditional methods and create dynamic,
multi‐sensory, 3D stimulus environments for monitoring
and recording behaviors. Challenges to be faced in
developing this technology as a clinical tool will also be
discussed.
Date: Wednesday, January 13, 2010
Time: 3:30 ‐ 5:00 PM
Location: Disque Hall, Room 109
This event is free and open to the Drexel community.
