Abstract

The workshop ''Mens Nova in Mundo Virtuali: Immersive Virtual Reality Experiences for Cognitive and Creative Enhancement'' explores the transformative potential of immersive virtual reality (VR) technologies in enhancing human cognition and creativity. By leveraging advancements in VR, brain-computer interfaces, and sensory augmentation, this workshop examines how these tools can foster neuroplasticity, improve cognitive functions, and revolutionize creative practices across disciplines. Participants will engage in discussions on topics such as adaptive VR interventions, innovative interaction paradigms, and ethical considerations in cognitive enhancement. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, the workshop aims to establish a roadmap for future research and practical applications, driving the integration of VR into everyday cognitive and creative processes.
