Effects of virtual environments on pain
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Virtual environments have been shown to alter how people react to painful stimuli. This dissertation explores the effects of different virtual environments on pain threshold and pain rating in induced thermal pain tasks. Results show support for the effectiveness of virtual environments in altering the perception of pain, and suggest directions for future work in finding more effective content for virtual environments designed to reduce pain.
