WITS NeuRL

The Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) Lab at the Wits Neuroscience Research Lab (NeuRL) utilises immersive technology to investigate social cognition and neurobiology. The lab houses a VIVE full-body virtual reality system, and its primary research focus involves body ownership illusions through virtual embodiment. These methods allow researchers to evaluate and modulate cross-cultural prejudice and social attitudes by placing participants within virtual avatars.
