Tomsk residents developed a VR complex for stress management

TOMSK, Apr 4 – RIA Tomsk. Employees of the Tomsk companies Neuromech and Crane Brain for two years have developed a software and hardware complex NeVroPlex, which, using virtual reality glasses and a neurointerface, allows the user to relieve stress or concentrate, CEO of Neuromech Yulia Loboda told RIA Tomsk.

"The NeVroPlex program is neuro- and VR technologies. The NeuroMech and Crane Brain team created six virtual scenarios, and when a person enters a certain environment with the help of virtual reality glasses, he uses certain brain signals to affect objects and visually sees what is happening with his stress level or concentration," Loboda said.

She added that one of the virtual scenes is a forest, and a person's stress is represented as an animal. When a person begins to calm down, the neurointerface records this by the electroencephalogram of the brain, and the animal decreases in size and disappears. Another of the scenarios is imitation of target archery, the process helps a person to concentrate.

The interlocutor of the agency added that it took scientists two years to develop this program. Now this technique to increase concentration and reduce stress levels has been approved by the Ministry of Health of Russian Federation.
