“…Given that, in our study, the power of the forehead EMG was also significantly higher when viewing the clip in virtual reality, there is a reason to believe that the increase in the high-frequency components of the EEG is a sign of higher muscle tension when the helmet is worn. As for theta activity, which in our study also increased when a stimulus was presented in the VR helmet, it is known to play a key role in the operation of attention systems [44], spatial and temporal signal encoding, memory, in providing behaviour related to anxiety [45], and such states as interest [46]. Interest as a positive emotion is associated with the ability to absorb new information and/or better understand already generalised information, as well as increased attention, information processing, learning, and motivation [46].…”

The increasing role of virtual environments in society, especially in the context of the pandemic and evolving metaverse technologies, requires a closer study of the physiological state of humans using virtual reality (VR) for entertainment, work, or learning. Despite the fact that many physiological reactions to the content presented in various modalities under VR conditions have already been described, often these studies do not reflect the full range of changes in the physiological reactions that occur to a person during their immersion in the virtual world. This study was designed to find and compare the most sensitive physiological indicators that change when viewing an emotionally intense video fragment in standard format on screen and in virtual reality conditions (in a VR helmet). The research methodology involved randomly presenting a group of subjects with visual content—a short video clip—first on screen (2D) and then in a virtual reality helmet (3D). A special feature of this study is the use of multimodal physiological state assessment throughout the content presentation, in conjunction with psychological testing of the study participants before and after the start of the study. It has been discovered that the most informative physiological indicators reflecting the subjects’ condition under virtual reality conditions were changes in theta rhythm amplitude, skin conductance, standard deviation of normal RR-intervals (SDRR), and changes in photoplethysmogram (PPG). The study results suggest that in the process of immersion in a virtual environment, the participants develop a complex functional state, different from the state when watching on screen, which is characterised by the restructuring of autonomic regulation and activation of emotion structures of the brain.
