  • Looking for Young Adults for a Nature VR Study

    Have you been having feelings of stress, anxiety, or generally a lower mood than normal? 

    We are recruiting young adults ages 18- 40 who are experiencing these symptoms.   

    What is this study about?  
    We want to understand better how older and younger adults might benefit after a session of a virtual reality nature-based program designed to improve anxiety and low mood typically reported by older and younger adults. 

    Duration of the study (2 sessions): 

    Baseline Session: 1.5 hours.  

    Single-session Virtual Reality Nature Exposure: 3 hours.
