After monitoring the rats brain activity, researchers from the University of California Los Angeles discovered electrical activity in a region known as the hippocampus neurons(海马体神经元) differed depending on whether the rats were placed in real-world or VR environments. The new findings are significant as the hippocampus is a primary driver of learning and memory in the brain. When rats walk around in real life, electrical activity in the hippocampus appears to synchronize(同步发生) at a rate of eight heartbeats per second. Heartbeats at this frequency are generally known as theta(θ) waves, with stronger θ waves seeming to improve the brains ability to learn and keep sensory information. When placed in a VR environment, the rats θ waves became stronger. It turns out that amazing things happen when the rat is in virtual reality, said Prof Mayank Mehta from UCLA. The scientists also found that VR environments could change different electrical rhythms in different parts of the neurons, which indicates that scientists may be able to control human brain rhythms. This is a new technology that has great potential, Mehta said. The study also indicates why VR may stimulate these unique brain waves. A big part of it, Mehta puts, may be down to the very different set of stimuli presented in VR. Imagine that youre approaching a doorway in real life. Your eyes see the door getting larger. But how do you know that youre moving forward and the door isnt coming to you? The answer is that your brain uses information such as the acceleration of your head through space or the shift of weight from one foot to the other—information that may not be present during a VR experience. 1.Why are the new findings important? A. VRs contributions to learning have f
