Texas A&M's VR near-death simulation reduced death anxiety in students, sparking plans for wider study.
Texas A&M researchers are testing virtual reality to reduce death anxiety in college students, with a pilot study showing significant decreases in fear and stress after a 12-minute immersive near-death experience simulation.
The VR experience, featuring elements like floating above one’s body and a light tunnel, was well-received by participants, prompting plans to seek NIH funding for broader research, including applications for terminally ill patients.
The study highlights VR’s potential as an accessible, low-cost tool for mental wellness, particularly during high-pressure academic periods.
