Virtual Reality Can Boost Brain Rhythms

Virtual Reality is a great new innovation. It can help us work and play. However, there might be new benefits to virtual reality as well. Researchers found that virtual reality can help the brain as well. Scientists at UCLA created an experiment with rats. The rats were placed in a virtual environment. The rats that were placed in a virtual environment had boosted theta waves. Theta waves can improve or even restore learning, thinking and remembering. No technique so far has proven to improve theta waves. This technology has very high potential. “Virtual reality therapy” could be used to help humans in many memory and learning disorders. Such as Autism, ADHD, Alzheimer’s ,Epilepsy and Depression.
