Virtual Reality Simulation in Undergraduate Health Care Education Programs: Usability Study.

Background: Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly being used in higher education for clinical skills training and role-playing among health care students. Using 360° videos in VR headsets, followed by peer debrief and group discussions, may strengthen students' social and emotional learning.

Objective: This study aimed to explore student-perceived usability of VR simulation in three health care education programs in Norway.

Perspective: on the future of fecal microbiota transplantation.

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) has shown to possess impressive potential benefit for a wide range of clinical indications. Due to its inherent safety issues and efficacy constraints, the use of personalized FMT analogs could be a promising avenue. The development of such analogs will require a detailed understanding of their functionality, encompassing not only microbe-host interactions of the microbial taxa that are involved, but also of the ecological dimensions of the analogs and an overview of the gastrointestinal sites where these relevant microbial interactions take place.

Detailed operational building data for six office rooms in Denmark: Occupancy, indoor environment, heating, ventilation, lighting and room control monitoring with sub-hourly temporal resolution.

The operational building data presented in this paper has been collected from six office rooms located in an office building (research and educational purposes) located on the main campus of Aalborg University in Denmark. The dataset consists of measurements of occupancy, indoor environmental quality, room-level and system-level heating, ventilation and lighting operation at a 5 min resolution. The indoor environmental quality and building system data were collected from the building management system.

A method for synchronized use of EEG and eye tracking in fully immersive VR.

This study explores the synchronization of multimodal physiological data streams, in particular, the integration of electroencephalography (EEG) with a virtual reality (VR) headset featuring eye-tracking capabilities. A potential use case for the synchronized data streams is demonstrated by implementing a hybrid steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP) based brain-computer interface (BCI) speller within a fully immersive VR environment. The hardware latency analysis reveals an average offset of 36 ms between EEG and eye-tracking data streams and a mean jitter of 5.
