Virtual reality driving test for memory and thinking
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a virtual reality driving task to measure thinking skills in healthy older adults and people with mild memory problems. It may help find early signs of cognitive decline.

This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) brain games can help older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a slight decline in memory and thinking that is not yet dementia. If you join, you may do fun VR exercises that could help keep your mind sharp.
This study tests whether virtual reality exercises can help improve memory and thinking skills in people aged 70 or older who are experiencing depression. If you qualify, you might join sessions that use VR as a fun way to work on cognitive skills.
This study uses virtual reality (VR) – a computer-made 3D world you see through a headset – to help older adults with mild memory or thinking problems. It aims to see if VR-based mental exercises can improve memory and thinking skills.
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) training that combines visual and sound cues can help improve your visual awareness and driving ability after a stroke or brain injury. If you complete the training, you may see better and become safer on the road.
This study uses a virtual reality navigation task to detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It compares people with mild cognitive problems, mild Alzheimer's, and healthy older adults to see if this test can spot the disease earlier.
This study uses virtual reality and eye-tracking (pupillometry) to measure thinking and memory problems in people with Alzheimer's, mild cognitive impairment, or depression. It aims to find better ways to detect and track cognitive changes using a simple, non-invasive procedure.
