We invite you to participate in a research study to investigate potential connections between virtual reality environments and cognitive tasks. Participants will be presented with a series of virtual reality environments where they will be free to roam. Some environments will include some that may induce discomfort or other unpleasant emotions. If you have a fear of heights, is it strongly encouraged you do not participate in this study. You will be allowed to enter and leave these environments as you feel necessary. Before entering the first environment you will be asked to answer questions relating to your current emotional status. Participants will be wearing sensors on the clavicle and lower right rib cage, and be wearing a virtual reality headset. We ask you to wear vision correction (i.e., glasses or contacts) if needed. Once in the virtual reality environment you will be asked to complete three different cognitive tasks. These tasks will be delivered verbally and consist of attention and memory tasks. Participating in this study should last around 30 minutes. Because of the equipment being used people with a history of the risk factors are not eligible to participate in the study: seizures, epilepsy, panic disorder, claustrophobia, strokes, and traumatic brain injuries. You must be 18 years old to participate.

You are invited to participate in a research study that focuses on how emotions and technology influences cognition. Participants will have an opportunity to experience using the Virtual Reality Headset or using the computer with headphones. You will engage with two different environments that are meant to elicit emotions. You may experience some level of discomfort while exploring the environments. You will be able to enter and discontinue at any time you prefer. Before and after each environment, you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire related to any emotions you are feeling in that current moment. Additionally, you will be wearing sensors on their clavicle and lower rib cage to measure heartrate as well as the Virtual Reality headset and headphones. All materials will be sanitized or disposed of between uses. It is preferred that you wear loose-fitted clothing to your appointment. The whole session will last approximately 45 minutes. Due to the nature of this experiment and the equipment being used, individuals with a past of the following risks are not eligible for participation: seizures, strokes, traumatic brain injury, and epilepsy. Must be 18 years or older to participate.
