Immersive Virtual Environment Testing Area

沉浸式虚拟环境测试区（IVETA）及其工作人员提供广泛的服务，包括科学咨询，技术咨询和支持，数据收集，研究管理，数据准备和分析，以及安排必要的科学材料。IVETA还从事与研究和医疗保健社区以及公众有关的虚拟现实和相关技术的交流和教育。在本报告年度，五个社会和行为研究处发起的研究项目，以及一个在更广泛的NIH内发起的项目一直由IVETA团队提供服务。IVETA小组还进行了能力建设研究。 其中包括： - 一个研究涉及前列腺癌治疗决策的医患接触中的不确定性的项目（PI：Han）：虚拟现实和生理数据的编码和分析，对手稿的贡献。 - 对参与者注意力进行基于虚拟现实的测试，并结合对ADHD儿童大脑结构和功能的更大研究（PI：Shaw）：投稿 - 一项评估患者种族/民族和社会经济地位对医生个体化用药相关决策的影响的研究（PI：博纳姆）：科技咨询、数据收集、数据编码和管理 - 一项类似的临床个性化医疗研究在护理方面（PI：Calzone和Brennan）：科学和技术咨询，规划和采购 - 研究遗传性疾病和病症背景下的护理过程的项目（PI：Koehly）：生理测量工具咨询、培训、技术评估和设施管理 - 一项与基因组信息对儿童喂养的影响相关的研究（PI; Persky）：研究规划和设备准备 我们还在其他几个项目和分析中支持数据分析方面发挥了更小的作用。 除了直接服务于社会和行为研究分支和其他NIH同事的研究需求外，IVETA团队还进行研究和评估，以扩大自身的能力。在本报告年度，IVETA团队进行了一项研究，以评估对参与者情绪进行自动评估的工具的可行性，实用性和附加值，以及对基于虚拟现实的工具进行评估和验证，以研究父母的喂养行为。

A wide range of services are provided by the Immersive Virtual Environment Testing Area (IVETA) and its staff including, scientific consultation, technological consultation and support, data collection, study administration, data preparation and analysis, and arranging necessary scientific materials. The IVETA also engages in communication and education about virtual reality and related technologies to the research and health care communities, and to the public. During this reporting year, five Social and Behavioral Research Branch-initiated research projects, and one project initiated within the wider NIH have been served by the IVETA team. The IVETA team has also conducted capacity-building research. These include: - A project that investigates uncertainty in patient-physician encounters involving prostate cancer treatment decisions (PI: Han): Coding and analysis of virtual reality and physiological data, contribution to manuscripts. - Administration of a virtual reality-based test of participant attention in conjunction with a larger study on brain structure and function of children with ADHD (PI: Shaw): Contribution to manuscripts - A study assessing the influence of patient race/ethnicity and socio-economic status on physician decision-making related to personalized medicine (PI: Bonham): Scientific and technological consultation, data collection, data coding and management - A similar clinical personalized medicine study in a nursing context (PIs: Calzone and Brennan): Scientific and technical consultation, planning and procurement - A project studying care giving processes in the context of genetic diseases and conditions (PI: Koehly): Physiological measurement tool consultation, training, technological evaluation, and facility management - A study related to the influence of genomic information on child feeding (PI; Persky): Study planning and apparatus prep We have also played a more minor role in supporting data analysis in several other projects and analyses. In addition to directly serving the research needs of the Social and Behavioral Research Branch and other NIH colleagues, the IVETA team also conducts research and assessments to expand its own capabilities. During this reporting year the IVETA team has undertaken a study to assess the feasibility, utility, and added value of a tool that conducts automated assessment of participant emotion, as well as an assessment and validation of a virtual reality-based tool to study parent feeding behavior.
