For Elizabeth Loftus the mémoire functions as a Wikipédia page. Following this idea of hyperlinks that refer to each other, it was possible by a laboratory to re-implant false memories in 3 days by asking people to tell them. They ended up making these false memories their own because they became perfectly plausible.
The incredible benefits of virtual reality are linked to the very structure of our brain, whose neural circuits are sensitive to perceptions, whether they are entirely fabricated, simulated or real. It is this potential that is currently being explored in all human activities.
One Needle 3.0. is the title of an exciting case that shows how virtual reality helps treat pain. Naomi Roth recalls one of the first games to distract the patient from a painful operation. With the game Snowden World, the HT Lab of the University of Washington tests, since 1996, the treatment of pain by virtual reality using a distraction therapy. The opiates traditionally given to patients are replaced by a game during the changing of large burn dressings. Similarly, the game, used at the Victor Hugo cancer clinic in Le Mans, soothes pain and tension through activities performed in a dreamlike environment.
Projects focus on pain related to missing limbs or rebuilding nerve endings such as Quartz Walk Again project which addresses paraplegics. The human body is holistic and remembers the entire body schema even in case of amputation. Thanks to this, a the Virtues study shows how movement exercises in a virtual universe accelerate the recovery of sensation. Kinequantum is a more precise kiné than a kiné.
Orthopia is also concerned with eye rehabilitation with the help of Vivid vision which helps to rectify the eyes.
Virtual reality can also be used for the preparation of an operation by visualizing the operation site. The University Hospital of Angers (France) uses virtual reality to facilitate open-brain operations. The patient remains conscious and performs activities that allow the surgeon to know precisely on which area he is intervening.
Mental illnesses are also a challenge for virtual reality. Several experiments make it possible to "duke out" one's inner friend through virtual reality.This is the concept of the "virtual experience" Virtual body ownership » ré alis; in 2016 (Nature Scientific) or one incarnates as Freud's Avatar and gives advice à selfême. This is similar to the third chair technique from Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Getting one's injured self to talk to one's counselor or inner child is a technique of "parenting" that is translated into a virtual universe.
The technique is similar to the three-chair technique from Neuro Linguistic Programming.
Virtual reality is also used for the treatment of phobias. Here it is possible to cite the case of Psious a platform between caregivers and patients or the VR biofeedback kit that allows the reacute of behavioral patterns.
Anorexia and bulimia could also be treated by experiencing movement with an avatar that helps align with weight estimation charts.
The 1999 cyberpsychology behavior experiment shows all the benefits of patients who, borrowing a virtual body, experience displacement. From this simulated body experience, the patient has an opportunity to move his representations. Virtual rehearsal helps real rehearsal.
It is also possible to treat OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) with virtual reacute. This is how the Albert Chenevier Hospital reproduces OCD situations to reacquire its perception of reality. The exposure to the scenarios allows a better behavioral adaptation. The opposite of pressure is movement, and it would take just 8 minutes to tune out the little voices that are blowing up the behaviors.
PTSD is a voice application that aims at the reacute;ducation of vétans through the exposure of traumatic élents. Through virtual reality, the therapist crystallizes situations that are blocked by speech.
Virtual reality could help counteract Alzheimer's disease, or 130 million patients by 2050. Data from 3 million players of the game sea hero quest is providing insight into how players recognize and perform movements in space. The data capitalized is equivalent to 12,000 years of laboratory research.
The data is also used to develop a new way of understanding the game.

In an increasingly digitalized world, it seems a priority to prevent the emergence of a major digital divide. Hence the importance of setting up smart villages that focus not only on network and machine implementation, but also on digital literacy.
The importance of health literacy...
The medical system is there first and foremost to care for people. This priority should perhaps be accompanied by another: that of ensuring that patients fully understand the ailments that afflict them or the treatments they need to undergo. Indeed, studies tend to show that the level of medical literacy is often low, and can prove just as deadly as certain bad habits.
A 4-day week for the community
Would a 4-day school week be feasible? In the U.S., the idea has been put in place to offer teachers and children rest and opportunities to help the community. Numerous activities are organized to make the day fun, and to give a helping hand to local businesses.
Sheng, the living and growing African Esperanto
Recycling local languages. As much a practical gesture as a political one, the putting forward of Sheng is becoming a form of affirmation and emancipation for thousands of people.
Is the creation of new common languages a trend that will spread to Africa, India, Asia, indeed to all regions where hundreds of languages live side by side, alongside the penetration of communication technologies?
Action research, a political choice
An alternative approach to research is very field-based. Its objective is not the same as others. The idea is to change ways of doing things in order to better meet needs. It's called action research.
