• Inspiring to spent some time in another research

  environment

• State of Art – related research

• Host Jeremy Bailenson VHIL

• Future collaboration
My PhD is about……
•   How communication, learning and identity is closely linked together
•   Recreating oneself/identity by interaction in immersive virtual worlds

Transforming the rehabilitation landscape into an immersive virtual
environment will give possibilities for:
     – multimodal ways of communication
     – social interactions
     – emotional experiences
     – Presentation oneself
     – involvement of the body will affect the brain reestablishing process
       positively and promote cognitive and communicative functions

(Moreover a social life and be free to independently using technologies)



•
Arguments
1. IVW opens up for bodily immersion and interacting
   through avatar mediating.

1. Interacting in 3D IVW fires (almost) the same
   neurons as interaction in the real world

1. IVW provides the opportunity for use of multiple
   sensory stimuli, and for the promotion and
   development of the nervous lanes in the brain.
Empirical Work (2010-2012)
Establishment of a project
group (people suffering from
aphasia, relatives and
speech therapists)

Interviews (before and after
the pilot courses)

Workshops ( dialog/
activities about needs and
wishes for aphasiac)

Pilot Courses (observations,
videotape)

Editor's Notes

  1. This representation of self might have an embodied impact on learning possibilities for people with an injured brain and physically or/and cognitive difficulties
