Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) is getting traction in many contexts, allowing users to have a real-life experience in a virtual world. However, its application in the field of Neuroscience, and above all probing newer activity with the analysis of electroencephalographic (EEG) event-related potentials (ERP) is underexplored. This article reviews the state-of-the-art applications of virtual reality in ERP research, analysing current ways to integrate Head-Mounted Displays (HMD) with EEG head-sets for deploying ecologically valid experiments. It also identifies which ERP components are appropriate in VR settings, along with their paradigms, the technical configurations of the experiments conducted, and the reliability of the findings. Finally, the article synthesises this survey, providing recommendations to practitioners and scholars.
