This subreddit is dedicated to the research of virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality and how we can use brain computer interfaces to achieve them.
Please keep posts relating to the topic of brain computer interfaces, virtual reality, mixed reality, augmented reality, or anything else you might think would fit will in this community.

I'm measuring presence by observing the attention allocated toward the real environment (with an oddball paradigm) in a VR scene designed to produce high and low level of presence https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1741-2552/ad5cc2
I have conducted an experiment where I used an electrode on the skin near the spinal cord on the neck which allowed me to stimulate the vagus nerve. I felt a tingling sensation on a specific area of my hand at one frequency, and a different specific area at another frequency. I think that further research into the area could result in a full-dive non-invasive VR experience.
I tried to capture data from my nerves but the readings were too noisy. Further study into how to more accurately stimulate and measure impulses to and from the vagus nerve would allow for the study of frequencies. I don't have the means, but I know where someone could start.
Electromagnetic TMS has become popular and has the backing of medical institutions. If you could narrow the field to accurately inject frequencies and also read frequencies coming from the nerves then you may be able to chart correlations in data. This is complex and I'm no doctor. I hope someone can make sense of my findings.
Is today's Virtual Self enough? Is Virtual Reality, as it is, the dream? What can we do more? What should we do more? We observed the field, we heard your thoughts. Now we raise you some questions so we can look together for answers.
The Virtual Self 2.0.
We've put our passion into bringing BCI Gaming into mainstream. On our way, we've asked ourselves: What has been done? Did it work? Is it feasible to do more? And we're sharing our forecast and efforts for what will happen next.

Hello!
I'm gonna purchase a commercial EEG but i'm wondering which one is the most accurate. Does anybody have knowledge on this? Also, how accurate are commercial headsets (non-invasive) in relation to non-commercial headsets (invasive)? I've only found old articles on the topic, which I think cannot be valid.
I just recently started getting into BCI & EEG technology and found these articles to be of particular help understanding the current landscape of the field (sorry if any of these have been posted already) . I hope these help someone who is unsure of where to start - I personally found the whole concept of BCI's to be very daunting.
Good General Overview of different technologies behind BCIs (EEG, fMRI, MEG, MRT...):
Fundamental Understanding of the Troubles related to EEG Signal Detection (particularly the section "2. Idiosyncrasies of EEG and MEG Studies") :

Excellent Example of How BCI's Can be Integrated Into Unity3D:

If you have any recommendations of articles/studies I should take a look at, please let me know!
I'm looking for a good electrophysiology device for myself. Besides OpenBCI, I found this https://www.attys.tech/. I'm looking for any other alternatives to capture biosignal data.
Hello everybody!
I am an avid lover of Fantasy Worlds, Gaming, and Technology.
BCI and VR excites me to no avail and I was wondering something.
Has anybody yet dabbled with BCIVR to control the User Interface with their mind? Looking at buttons and toggling/pressing them with nothing but thought?
Hello,
We will host a conference on BCI and art, which will include BCI and VR:
BCI for (Media) Art and Games: Aalborg Workshop – Call for Papers
Workshop in conjunction with ArtsIT 2019 – 8th EAI International Conference: ArtsIT, Interactivity & Game Creation
November 6-8, 2019, Aalborg, Denmark: http://artsit.org/
BCI for Art and Games: http://artsit.org/brainart/
If you're interested in developing BCI applications (for consumer-grade, non-invasive headsets), a few of us bcivr folks want to help you get started. We are meeting up and developing getting started resources for people who want to make BCI applications. Check out https://petal.tech
Ps. If there is a resource you found helpful when getting started with BCI dev, please share it and we'll add it to the site!
Thank you!
