Description:
|
This is a two-part project wherein the first part is on using virtual reality (VR) devices to elicit emotions in individuals in a laboratory. We will study the influence of different emotions on an individuals decision making by first identifying and presenting different emotional stimuli using VR and then observing their responses on decision tasks. In the second part, we will investigate different interventions to manage the influence of extreme emotions on decision making. We will use VR devices such as the Oculus GO headset, devices that will measure human physiological responses (electrodermal activity, heart rate, etc.), and possibly a driving simulator if we choose it for the second part.
