About me

The National Institute of Mental Health is a clinical and scientific institution focused on research of neurobiological mechanisms that lead to development of severe mental disorders and development and testing of new diagnostic and therapeutic methods. The main goal of the VR research center at NIMH is the application of virtual reality (VR) technology in comprehensive mental health care, education and research in the field of psychiatry and neuroscience.

The aim of our projects targeting population of elderly is to create innovative technologies that could positively affect the lives of older adults in means of enhancement and/or rehabilitation of cognitive abilities affected by aging process and degenerative diseases. Dementia is one of the major causes of disability and dependency among older people worldwide, therefore tools that would help to prevent or reduce cognitive decline in elderly are extremely needed.
