What type of research is done with CAREN?
FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH.Immersive VR that evaluates a subject’s behavior and covers most sensory inputs (visual, auditory, vestibular, tactile) in a synchronized environment is a powerful research tool. The input and response of different senses can be isolated, compared, registered and evaluated at runtime or off-line. CAREN enables researchers to analyze balance behavior, latency, response times and the relations between different sensory inputs that affect human balance, posture and locomotion behaviors. EARLY DIADNOSIS.CAREN is a quantifiable tool for early diagnosis of a variety of balance disorders, including Parkinson, Multiple Sclerosis and other degenerative conditions. It can detect tremors in a person attempting to stand still. An increase in this tremor over time often indicates the onset of a condition. Even a trained professional might not notice the anomalies early enough or distinguish a slight increase. Discovered early, these conditions can be treated more effectively. D
