Abstract:Despite substantial progress towards establishing virtual reality (VR) simulators as a replacement for physical ones for skill training, its effect on the brain network during skill acquisition has not been well addressed. In this study, we employed portable optical neuroimaging technology and Granger causality approach to uncover the impact of the two medical simulation technologies on the directed functional brain network of the subjects with two different skill levels. The mobile brain-behavior relantionshi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
