About
DartmouthVR
The DartmouthVR Project uses immersive virtual reality to investigate individuals' visual experience in naturalistic 360° environments. Our researchers have designed exciting new visual experiments to study how our brain experiences and sees the world around us.
Individuals and their families have the most important role in making research discoveries. Through these remote VR studies, you can help us with our research right from your home! After being screened and receiving a study invitation in Prolific, follow the instructions on this website to participate in the experiment and get paid!

About Us
Our lab seeks to understand how we see, remember, and neurodiverge. The link between sensation and cognition is particularly relevant to understanding psychiatric conditions such as autism, where differences in sensory perception shed light on the neurobiology of the condition.
By studying how people see the world, we can learn about the structure of cognition and, in return, learn how different patterns of thought shape our experience of the world around us.
