DESCRIPTION:This is a guest lecture as part of SWEN422 (Human Computer Inte
 raction) - https://ecs.wgtn.ac.nz/Courses/SWEN422_2024T1/WebHome\n\nAbstra
 ct: \n\nPsychological scientists are increasingly turning to Virtual Reali
 ty (VR) to conduct more ecologically valid experiments. One field of resea
 rch where VR has been particularly impactful is Affective Neuroscience (th
 e study of human emotions). In this lecture\, I will dispel some common my
 ths about how human emotions work\, explain how emotions actually work (in
 sofar as science has been able to reveal)\, and equip you with some guidel
 ines and principles for designing emotional VR and measuring emotional eff
 ects in user studies. \n \n\nBio: \nDr Christopher Maymon (https://people.
 wgtn.ac.nz/christopher.maymon) is a cognitive scientist and a lecturer in 
 the School of Psychology at Te Herenga Waka\, Victoria University of Welli
 ngton. The primary focus of his research examines relationships between em
 otional change and presence\, and the extent to which our executive functi
 ons (inhibition\, attentional control\, conflict adaptation) are improved 
 or impaired in intense emotional situations. He started the VR laboratory 
 in the School of Psychology in 2018 and collaborates with cognitive neuros
 cientists around the globe to leverage the immersive benefits of VR to imp
 rove the ecological validity of psychological science. \n\nZoom: https://v
