@RossIngram @cognazor You can cut a human brain straight in half to make two fully functioning minds... still looking for a computer that can do that

@cognazor maybe @OliverLEJacobs has some thoughts

What is a better metaphor for human beings

@CraigVReady I believe running correctly it should show up as a Rift without Unity detecting anything unusual

Has anyone used the oculus link/quest with the unity editor? Does it work like any other VR headset?

Thanks @ubc_eml for the very creative gift (I won’t spoil) and the amazing feedback from all the attendees at the EMBC CoP

According to free energy theory, the brain exists to predict stimuli and thus minimize surprise. In other words, brains try to make life as boring as possible.

Why virtual reality is not dying–at least for psychology. Read cognitive science researchers Nicola Anderson and Oliver Jacobs @PsychToday blog post on how #UBC's Brain, Attention and Reality lab is using #VR ow.ly/Snyb50oh60M
