ABSTRACT
SinkInSync presents the design and prototype of a VR-based cross-person EEG neurofeedback platform. This generative VR platform uses one user's brainwave data to procedurally render 3D scenes and passively displays visual cues that are synchronized with the real-time brainwave frequency to another user. With the platform, we aim to explore the potential of VR as an avenue for augmenting cognitive and emotional social connectedness in remote interactions via externally-induced brainwave synchronization between pairs of individuals.

Measuring User Quality of Experience in Social VR systems
AltMM'18: Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Multimedia Alternate RealitiesVirtual Reality (VR) is a computer-generated experience that can simulate physical presence in real or imagined environments [7]. A social VR system is an application that allows multiple users to join a collaborative Virtual Environment (VE), such as a ...
Facebook as a source of social connectedness in older adults
This study examines for the first time whether and subsequently the extent to which social connectedness can be derived from Facebook in a population of older Facebook users. Participants (N=280) were aged between 55 and 81 years (Mage=61.28 years). ...
EEG-Based Brain-Computer Interactions in Immersive Virtual and Augmented Reality: A Systematic Review
EICSBrain-computer interactions allow humans to passively or actively control computer systems using their brain activity. For more than a decade now, these interactions have been implemented and evaluated in immersive virtual environments where they prompt ...
