The virtual environment and the pre‐scan task. (a) An overview of the virtual spaceship composed of two rooms linked by a corridor. Some walls are shown as transparent here for display purposes. (b–e) Example views from a participant's perspective during scanning. (b) and (c) are views when a participant is facing down in Room A and Room B, respectively. (d) and (e) are views when a participant is facing straight ahead in Room A and Room B, respectively. (f) In a pre‐scan task, participants pointed toward the remembered locations of balls while positioned at random locations and then they received a feedback on their decision in terms of angular deviation. Of note, participants performed this task while wearing a VR head‐mounted display, which has a wider field‐of‐view and stereoscopic vision, therefore the example pictures shown here are approximate to the actual views experienced by participants [Color figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com]
