Presence Research and EEG

The fields of presence research and electroencephalography (EEG) are related in, at least, two ways. Firstly, EEG can be used to analyse the neurophysiological phenomena related to presence research. For example, EEG might be useful to investigate the question of ‘breaks in presence’. Secondly, EEG can be used to control external devices with a so-called “brain computer interface” (BCI). Such a BCI might be also used for controlling a virtual environment.
