- Welcome From Virtual to Reality – Playing Social Games How Virtual Reality can be used to build a better social brain. a.k.a. Social Brain Training in Virtual Reality By Carl Lutz * Young Frankenstein (1974)
- Who wants to be smarter? Or, who wants a more powerful brain? The Center for BrainHealth’s research is focused on this very thing. * Young Frankenstein (1974)
- Your Brain Can Change Researchers at the Center for BrainHealth are showing that you can rewire your brain to be Smarter and Healthier. Your brain can be more Innovative, more Creative, you can be a better Problem Solver. You can recover from injury, or extend the lifespan of your brain. Why am I talking about building a better brain? Our BRAIN is the best weapon we have to combat bullying. * The Brain from Planet Arous (1957)
- Doesn’t Matter What’s in Your Head You can do this at any age, or any stage of life by changing the way your think and adopting health brain habits.
- Love your Frontal Lobes * This Island Earth (1955)
- Sound like a mad scientist? * Abbott and Costello Meet Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1953)
- Research at the Center is focused on ways strengthen and extend the lifespan of our brains. Ask someone how long they want to live and they might tell you, “As long as I have my mind.” “Without brain health you we don’t have health” – Dr. Chapman Moto - “Understand, Protect and Heal the Brain”
- “I turn Neuroscience into Video Games” At The Center for BrainHealth I work with a team of designers, programmers, and neuroscientists to design an build games that can make you brain better Background in animation and game design Studied at The Art Institute of Dallas and The University of Texas at Dallas After Collage I started a game development studio, Acropolis Laboratories Inc., before joining The Center for BrainHealth

- Empathy The ability to recog, understand and respond accordingly * Young Frankenstein (1974)
- Social Rules Eye contact, personal space, taking turns. Dress, conversation topics * Batman and Robin (1949)
- Chapter Slide: Social Cognition Study Details Participants Pediatric Group (7-16yrs) Young Adult Group (17-40yrs) Study Components Social-Cognitive Assessments with Brain Imaging Strategy Based Virtual-Reality Social Cognition Training (10 Sessions ~ 5 weeks)
- How the brain learns Chess Example: You can tell someone the rules to chess, but until they have practiced applying the rules they will not be able to be successful Golf is another good example. You could read every book written on golf and still not master the game. The social brain learns the same way: Social Example: Anyone walk out of their very first job interview and say to themselves, “Nailed it!”? Or how about your first date? So we need a safe place for the social brain to learn to deal with bullying… * The Seventh Seal (1957)
- How can you practice social Strategies? There are two traditional ways to practice a social skill like a job interview or dating Roll play Throw your self out there
- Role Play Real time feedback Safe Unrealistic * Some Like it Hot (1959)
- Throw your self out there Realism - Real emotions Not safe No feedback * Assignment Outerspace (1960)

- Suspension of Disbelief Feel the same emotions as real life * The Boy and the Pirates (1960)
- Safe to Fail or Better than Safe It is OK to fail in side a videogame When it is OK to fail we are willing to try new things and experiment. This leads to innovation and learning. * Young Frankenstein (1974)
- Challenge Michael Jordan sounds like he’s not trying very hard. Multiply that by 10 to get my Modern Warfare 3 stats. Gamers crave challenge. The greater the challenge the greater the reward. The scenarios are never the same twice. * The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958)
- Accessibility You can practice from anywhere. * It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958)
- Flexibility You can change the scenario, the location, and who you are dealing with and try again.
- Focus Or Flow - Ever have to call someone’s name multiple times to get there attention while they are playing a video game? * The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
- Fun Your brain is more primed to learn/change with you are having fun. When you are over anxious your mind can block you from learning. Having fun with others = Social reward * Modern Times (1936)
- Video Games are King! When it comes to a safe place to practice dealing with a bullying and build your SOCILAL BRAIN, Games/Virtual Reality are King. * King Kong (1933)

- We have applied the principals to a Virtual Reality named Virtual Gemini. Gemini = Twin Used for practicing navigation of difficult social situations Looking at using it with soldiers including Navy Seals, with TBI, and for cultural training * Young Frankenstein (1974)
- Video of intervention
- Virtual Gemini stats Engaged with friends more. Engaged with more friends. Everyone showed significant improvement in social cognition. Important take away: partisipants have reengaged or engaged socially
- Brain Scan Image – In five weeks there was a significant improvement in brain activity Before, after, after - before
- Clark’s Story
- We already use game to strengthen our bodies. Console games like Wii Fit turn our living rooms into gyms. Where are the game that function as gyms for our brains?
- Where could it benefit us to make life more like a videogame? How could School be more like a video game? We have videogames to help cure disease, fight climate change, and affect social change through out the world. When you leave here think about all the good that could be done if every day was more like a video game.
- What’s next? Now that we know how powerful an impact Virtual Reality combined with SMART can be, where is the Center looking to go next. In conclusion, your brain is as powerful as you make it. If you don’t stress your brain with multi-tasking, and focus on one to two tasks a day you will build a more powerful brain. * The Gamma People()
