Advancements in computer graphics facilitate experimental research in psychology and neuroscience by<br> providing controlled and ecological environments. This presentation introduces<br> recent work conducted at Swiss Center for Affective Sciences (CISA), University of<br> Geneva, including research using virtual humans and\/or virtual environments.<br> Ongoing applications include a virtual reality police training tool for evaluating force<br> response, a virtual reality-based intervention simulating climate change to study pro-<br> environmental behaviors, and VRelief, a virtual reality tool designed to mitigate<br> anxiety and pain in children during medical procedures. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Yvain Tisserand &#8211; Swiss Center for Affective Sciences &#8211; University of Geneva, Switzerland Bio: Yvain Tisserand is a senior researcher at the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences (CISA), University &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4476","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cgs-network.org\/cgi24\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cgs-network.org\/cgi24\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cgs-network.org\/cgi24\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cgs-network.org\/cgi24\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cgs-network.org\/cgi24\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4476"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.cgs-network.org\/cgi24\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4476\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5035,"href":"https:\/\/www.cgs-network.org\/cgi24\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4476\/revisions\/5035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cgs-network.org\/cgi24\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
