Abstract
Virtual Reality enables immersion in computer-generated three-dimensional environments, allowing interaction through devices like headset, headphones and controllers. Many of the realistic and engaging experiences made possible by this technology have applications in medicine and healthcare. Virtual Reality changes the relationship between reality and virtuality in medicine, allowing researchers to use VR environments to conduct more realistic experiments and clinical studies. This drives scientific progress and contributes to the development of new treatments and therapies. Hemianopsia is a condition that leads to a visual deficit characterized by the loss of half of the visual field. This impairment is caused by lesions in the optic chiasm due to various pathological conditions or by post-chiasmatic lesions in the neural pathways that follow the optic chiasm.
The objective of this thesis is to compare the EEG signal in participants with and without a virtually simulated visual defect while navigating in appropriately developed VR environments
