6/6 Finally, a single test-case patient with a chronic implant performed our task as well, and we could also see strengthening of movement related theta between the two versions of the task.

5/6 This result extended also to epilepsy patients, which are a key population in spatial neuroscience, as they are one of the few windows to invasive brain recordings in humans.

4/6 We used matched tasks, one virtual and one using AR to enable the task to run in the real world. We found that spatial memory was about twice as accurate when participants were physically walking around!

3/6 How big is the difference in spatial memory accuracy between performing the same task virtually and in the real world?.

2/6 A lot of research on spatial memory is done using stationary VR for reasons of logistics, compatibility with fMRI and EEG etc. But without physical motion we are missing many cues (e.g. vestibular, motor afferent etc.).

1/6 "Improved spatial memory for physical versus virtual navigation" is out today at the Journal of Neural Engineering; .Work with @neurojosh.

(5/5) That line in the response letter now needs to become "The experimental environment has been destroyed by a ballistic missile limiting our ability to provide the requested additional images .".

(4/5) Ironically, one of my students' tasks there today was getting a better image of the ward's corridor in which we ran the experiment response to reviewer 3's request. .

We're also not allowed on campus, but from what I gather from campus security my lab should mostly be ok, besides maybe shattered windows in the student room.

(2/n) Luckily the building was mostly evacuated so only some wounded patients. My students were not there at the time either. We're not allowed in the building but i'm assuming any equipment i had in there, mainly several XR headsets, are gone.

(1/n) .This is the Soroka Medical center. It's across the street from campus, and was hit by a targeted ballistic missile from Iran this morning. My lab had several rehabilitation research projects running there using XR tools we developed.

RT @ELSCbrain: #ELSCseminarseries with Dr. Shachar Maidenbaum on the topic of "Navigating extended realities" will take place on Thursday,….

If you are at #ieeevr2025 drop by our lab's poster's tomorrow to learn about medical education with embodied skin conditions on your own arm (#1111), and the Virtual-Israel PTSD treatment project (#DC1102).

(מחפשים עוד כמה תשובות לאחד המחקרים שלנו - נשמח לעזרתכם!). שלום לכם!.במסגרת התנסות מחקרית במעבדה למציאות מרחבית אנחנו עורכים סקר קצר בנוגע להשפעות שיבושי הGPS על חיי היומיום. השאלון לוקח כ-5 דק'.

RT @QasimEtal: 🚨🚨 I'm recruiting a postdoc to come work with me at Rutgers! . If you are interested in LFP and single-neuron data in humans….

Our lab delegation is in Italy and heading north to #iNav24 (2 blitz, 2 posters). Looking forward to seeing you there!

So odd sitting here, in our bomb shelter, surrounded by my sleeping kids, knowing that a massive amount of missiles and drones have been launched at us a couple of hours ago and will only arrive in a few hours.

#ieeevr2024 - If you are around on Tuesday, join us for my grad student Eden's talk "When vision lies - Navigating virtual environments with unreliable visual information" .(the first time one of my awesome grad students is presenting a paper-talk! And a fun project in general)

At #ieeevr2024? Drop by our poster today (number 1046) to learn about the effect of reality modality on human spatial memory.
