In this Lunch and Learn event\, Bavo Van Kerrebroeck () will explore the role of VR as a research tool\, highlighting its capability to induce body illusi ons\, manipulate visual perspective\, and create a sense of “social presen ce”: the illusory feeling of being\, and socially interacting\, inside a v irtual environment. These features make VR a powerful tool for bridging ec ological validity and experimental control in empirical music research. Mo reover\, the ability of VR to create compelling body illusions offers uniq ue opportunities for studying embodied cognition\, allowing researchers to examine how sensory and motor processes contribute to action and percepti on in immersive\, controlled settings. Dr. Van Kerrebroeck will demonstrat e his use of VR for an experiment on musical groove and motion sickness an d show how accessible the technology is to implement. We invite you to com e\, learn about ongoing research using VR\, and join in the discussion. Co ffee and a light lunch will be provided.\n\nFor questions\, please contact info [at] crblm.ca\n\nWhen: Friday\, March 28\, 12:00-1:00\n\nWhere: 2001 -College\, room 606\n\nRegistration appreciated.\n DTSTART:20250328T160000Z DTEND:20250328T170000Z LOCATION:Room 606\, College 2001\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A1G1\, 200 1\, avenue College SUMMARY:CRBLM Lunch and learn: Virtual Reality URL:/brain-language-music/channels/event/crblm-lunch-a nd-learn-virtual-reality-363856 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
