Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Aging

In brief

Older adult participants will complete eight immersive virtual reality (VR) sessions with the researcher, within five weeks (no more than two sessions per week may be scheduled). The screening process and assessment measures are not included in the five weeks of virtual reality. Sessions will consist of 30 minutes of use of the virtual reality goggles.

Participants are expected to complete the session while seated with the VR set secured on their head.
