Research from the Edmond and Lily Safra International Institute of Neuroscience (IIN-ELS), from the Santos Dumont Institute (ISD), shows the potential revolution of \u201cVirtual Reality\u201d (VR) for the healthcare area.<\/p>

In environments created on a computer and with the aid of glasses that allow the simulation of real experiences, the technology opens up, according to the researchers, new perspectives for the rehabilitation of people who have lost movement, for adapted sports training and for reducing pain, for example. example, during vaccine applications.<\/p>

The research is carried out by students from master's degree in neuroengineering from the Institute<\/a> \u2013 the only one in Brazil in this area \u2013 and were highlighted in a report by Jornal Nacional, on TV Globo, this Tuesday (14).

\u201cWith virtual reality, we no longer need the patient to come to the location. He can do this remotely and you can monitor, record all the information and change his treatment too\u201d, said IIN-ELS research coordinator Edgard Morya in the interview.<\/p>

THERAPIES<\/strong>
The use of virtual reality glasses allows the user to experience the sensation of walking through certain environments, being in a crowded elevator or immersed, for example, within a game.<\/p>

The Jornal Nacional report showed an international experiment using technology to reduce the stress caused by the pandemic and, in the context of how VR has already been used, showed details of work by Brazilian researchers to treat patients with anxiety in closed environments, attention deficit disorder and \u2013 in the case of IIN-ELS \u2013 with paralysis in the lower limbs or fear of taking an injection.<\/p>

The Institute's research cited in the report is conducted by master's student and biomedical engineer Jo\u00e3o Paulo Bezerra Fernandes, under the guidance of Morya. Another front they are focusing on is the development of a bocce game to make it easier for people in wheelchairs to practice the sport.<\/p>

\u201cAs many para-athletes have difficulty getting to a training location, we created the game in virtual reality so they can train anywhere. The difference is that in addition to being in VR, the game also records the athlete's arm movements, so the coach can monitor the training and improve\u201d, explains the student.<\/p>

INNOVATION<\/strong>
Other studies underway at ISD serve as a stimulus for innovation in treatments and, also, for entrepreneurship.<\/p>

Biomedical scientists T\u00e2mara and T\u00e1ssia Nunes, twin sisters from Sergipe and postgraduate students, help illustrate this story.<\/p>

Future neuroengineers test the use of virtual reality and augmented reality for rehabilitation.<\/p>

\u201cBy combining brain-machine interface and virtual and augmented reality technologies, we can help improve the quality of life of these patients,\u201d said T\u00e1ssia in an interview with @isdnarede, the profile of the Santos Dumont Institute on social media.<\/p>

\u201cThe expectation is that they will be able to control, with their brain, a virtual environment, an avatar and, through this, stimulate neuroplasticity, that is, neuronal modifications that can recover or improve functions\u201d, he explains.<\/p>

Based on the studies they carry out, the twins created the startup EducAR, which focuses on education using this type of technology. The startup was developed in partnership with former IIN-ELS\/ISD student \u2013 now a master in neuroengineering \u2013 Mab Nunes.<\/p>

In six months of existence, it was approved in the Federal Government's Centelha program to operate in the state of Sergipe. It was also approved for incubation at the Tiradentes Innovation Center, at Tiradentes University. And the future, says T\u00e1ssia, is well defined.<\/p>

\u201cWe have to complete our master\u2019s degree next year. Afterwards, we want to continue working with the development of virtual reality, augmented reality and brain machine interface technologies \u2013 and take these technologies to the market through entrepreneurship\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
