For the first time, researchers from the Universities of Turin and Milano-Bicocca have combined immersive virtual reality (VIR) and electroencephalography (EEG) to investigate the neurocognitive basis of racial prejudice reduction.
A landmark study entitled "Behavioural and neurophysiological indices of racial bias modulation after virtual embodiment in other-race bodies" has recently been published in the prestigious journal iScience. The study, conducted by researcher Maria Pyasik of the University of Turin and coordinated by Prof. Lorenzo Pia (University of Turin) and Alice Mado Proverbio (University of Milano-Bicocca), integrated for the first time immersive virtual reality (VIR) technology and electroencephalogram (EEG) to investigate the neurocognitive basis underlying the reduction of racial bias.
