The Brain's Centre of Reality
This story is from the category Pure Research
Date posted: 10/02/2004
Research, conducted jointly between a biomedical engineer at Washington University in St. Louis and neurobiologists at the University of Pittsburgh has isolated the centre of the brain responsible for processing reality, and researchers have been able to manipulate that, for VR.
They created a virtual reality program which tricked monkeys into thinking that they were tracing ellipses with their hands, though in reality they were moving their hands in a circle.
