An investigation into the feasibility of using virtual environments as an induction method in SHIP® therapy

Description

The PENSIEVE study aimed to examine the potential of virtual reality as a tool to induce memories by utilizing neutral imagery grounded in the SHIP® Frame.

This quasi-experimental neural study combined psychological methodologies with VR technology to explore immersive memory induction.

The research provides insights into how virtual environments can be leveraged in psychological therapy and cognitive neuroscience.

Key Features:
- Application of SHIP® Frame in VR memory induction
- Integration of neuroscience and psychology in experimental design
- Use of immersive VR environments to study cognitive responses
- Quasi-experimental methodology to validate findings

This study forms part of my Master's degree research, contributing to the intersection of VR and mental health.
