Use And Application

No, VRBrain™ is strictly an app. The current experiences have been developed on the Oculus Quest 2 platform.

Additional platform viewing options  coming soon.

Science has proven that depending on its complexity, a habit can take anywhere from 18- 254 days to become automatic.

However, on average it takes approximately 66 days. The more you practice the habit, or listen to VRBrain™ experience, the greater the impact on the brain.

We recommend listening to an experience at least 3times due to the complexity of the immersive experiences.

With multiple viewing, each experience will reveal new brain training opportunities as the viewer’s real life situations vary, engraining positive thought pathways for long-term change

Although we don't recommend skipping the meditation because it is a way of releasing tension before you brain begins the real work, we do have a fast forward button that you can use to skip the meditations.

Within our Cultivating Mindfulness section you can choose any destination, however because the locations are integral to the specifically themed scripts, in the other categories, those destinations are chosen for you.

Can VRBrain really help me?

Neuroplasticity, also referred to as neural plasticity or brain plasticity, is the brain’s ability to change.

When we experience or learn something new, the neurons begin to fire, and this leads to the creation of new neurological pathways- in essence the re-wiring of our brains.

Science has proven that immersive virtual reality increases these neurological paths and have been used in various medical studies including rehabilitation, pain management, psychological conditions, engagement of executive thinking.

Regarding the brain’s ability to change, the old adage “practice makes perfect” or “use it or lose it,” has been updated to, “neurons that fire together, wire together.”

Incorporating the VRBrain™ into your life can help reduce stress, identify challenges with achieving goals and maintaining productivity, develop resiliency to set-backs, cope with complicated relationships, deal with grief, increase your leadership potential and assist in many other common life challenges.

 

The VRBrain™ is a unique immersive 360 experience that includes music, nature, guided meditation as well as cognitive behavioral therapy scripts that move the user through a guided process that extends beyond relaxation to engage in the executive thought process in the brain.

Each experience varies between10 and 15 minutes.

They are designed to be easily integrated into a day and can be viewed several times, as a lot of valuable information is included in each session.
