Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of Western Ontario
$150,000.00
Immersive Neuroscience
FY 2020-21
Summary
Dr. Culham’s research program in Immersive Neuroscience aims to understand brain
functions in realistic environments and compelling virtual simulations. One line of
her research measures brain activation while people perform everyday actions like
grasping and feeding. Another line of Dr. Culham's research uses virtual reality to
investigate whether simulations can effectively substitute for reality or whether
there are crucial differences that affect behavior and brain processes. This project
will enhance the theoretical and experimental sophistication of neuroscience research.
In addition, it will foster the effective development of neuroscientific applications
for everyday life.
