“…Nonetheless, conjugating VR and neurorobotic could make brain dynamics more complex, because of many factors related to motor control and psychological aspects come into play, including intrinsic motivation, selective attention, goal setting, working memory, decision making, positive self-concept, and self-control. Altogether, these aspects may modify and extend the range of brain rhythms deriving from different cortical areas related to MNS activation by locomotion, including theta and gamma oscillations [29–31]. Specifically, theta activity has been related to the retrieval of stored motor memory traces, whereas the gamma may be linked to the conscious access to visual target representations [30, 31].…”

“…Altogether, these aspects may modify and extend the range of brain rhythms deriving from different cortical areas related to MNS activation by locomotion, including theta and gamma oscillations [29–31]. Specifically, theta activity has been related to the retrieval of stored motor memory traces, whereas the gamma may be linked to the conscious access to visual target representations [30, 31]. Such broadband involvement may be due to the recruitment of multiple brain pathways expressing both bottom-up (automatic recruitment of movement simulation) and top-down (task-driven) neural processes within the MNS implicated in locomotion recognition [32].…”

BackgroundMany studies have demonstrated the usefulness of repetitive task practice by using robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) devices, including Lokomat, for the treatment of lower limb paresis. Virtual reality (VR) has proved to be a valuable tool to improve neurorehabilitation training. The aim of our pilot randomized clinical trial was to understand the neurophysiological basis of motor function recovery induced by the association between RAGT (by using Lokomat device) and VR (an animated avatar in a 2D VR) by studying electroencephalographic (EEG) oscillations.MethodsTwenty-four patients suffering from a first unilateral ischemic stroke in the chronic phase were randomized into two groups. One group performed 40 sessions of Lokomat with VR (RAGT + VR), whereas the other group underwent Lokomat without VR (RAGT-VR). The outcomes (clinical, kinematic, and EEG) were measured before and after the robotic intervention.ResultsAs compared to the RAGT-VR group, all the patients of the RAGT + VR group improved in the Rivermead Mobility Index and Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment. Moreover, they showed stronger event-related spectral perturbations in the high-γ and β bands and larger fronto-central cortical activations in the affected hemisphere.ConclusionsThe robotic-based rehabilitation combined with VR in patients with chronic hemiparesis induced an improvement in gait and balance. EEG data suggest that the use of VR may entrain several brain areas (probably encompassing the mirror neuron system) involved in motor planning and learning, thus leading to an enhanced motor performance.Trial registrationRetrospectively registered in Clinical Trials on 21-11-2016, n.NCT02971371.

BACKGROUND Contextual simulation-based teaching is considered an important part of the learning process for nursing students. Although the application of mirroring theory has demonstrated intervention effects on various health issues, the combination of mirroring theory with VR simulation has not yet been applied in nursing education. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect (including brain wave changes) of the integration of 360° simulation video and classroom lectures into a paediatric nursing curriculum on the technical performance of nursing students. METHODS Quasiexperimental research design with random assignment. Two nursing colleges in Taiwan. A total of 40 third-year nursing students were recruited and randomly assigned to the experimental group or the control group. Methods: After class, students in the experimental group agreed to participate in a 360° simulation course during independent practice, while in the control group, traditional practice methods were used during independent study. The data included the scores of the Simulation Design Scale (SDS), the Educational Practices Questionnaire (EPQ), the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale (SCLS) and electroencephalography recordings. The data were analysed using t tests and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). RESULTS Out of 58 initial participants, 40 completed the study (experimental group: n = 13, control group: n = 27) with a 69% response rate. Significant improvements were observed in SDS and EPQ scores in the experimental group (SDS: p < .001, EPQ: p = .005). ANCOVA revealed significant between-group differences in SDS (p = .008), EPQ (p = .019), and SCLS (p = .012) scores. EEG analysis showed significant reductions in power frequencies at C3, CZ, and C4 electrodes in the experimental group (p < .001). Significant μSC differences were found at CZ (p = .028) and C4 (p = .033) electrodes between groups. CONCLUSIONS 360° simulation video learning stimulates mirror neuron activity, fostering positive attitudes towards participation and significantly increasing postlesson confidence and satisfaction. Future research should further the in-depth understanding of the brain wave changes underlying how and under what conditions 360° contextual simulation videos support learning.
