Figure 2. Detailed functional MRI and immersive virtual reality (IVR) procedures. (A) Participants lie down on the scanner bed and are equipped with the standard head coil. The Nordic Neurolab (https://nordicneurolab.com) head-mounted display (HMD) is attached to the head coil and adjusted for each participant. This HMD has been used at the Geneva University Hospitals without any adverse indications in previous protocols, such as 2020-02553. (B) We have a virtual replica of the MRI room, allowing the patient to view the same room while immersed in IVR, but without the scanner-bore overhead.
