Study Groups

VR Music- Intervention
Treatment Group: music intervention via virtual reality (VR)
The music intervention aims to reproduce the experience of a musical performance. During the intervention, the participants will wear a VR headset which will give them an immersive experience of attending a virtual performance. During the intervention, the participants will be able to see the musicians (and the stage, empty auditorium, etc.) and hear the music.
The participants in the VR intervention will be seated during the 15 minutes of intervention and the research assistant will stay at their side during the entire intervention. There will be no hand-help components to the VR intervention. Should the participant express any discomfort or have any questions/concerns with the intervention, the research assistant will be available and able to answer/assist the participants.
Virtual reality (VR) music intervention
The VR music intervention consists of musical performance which were already recorded. This is accessible classic music. During the intervention, the participants will be able to see the musicians (and the stage, empty auditorium, etc.) and hear the music.
Music- Active Control
The participants in the active control group will listen, via a headband, the same music as the VR music intervention group.
These participants will therefore not have an "immersive" experience as they will only hear the music (i.e they will not be able to see the musicians playing).
The participants in the music intervention via headband will remain seated during the 15 minutes of the intervention. During the intervention, the research assistant will stay at their side. Should the participant express any discomfort or have any questions/concerns with the intervention, the research assistant will be available and able to answer/assist the participants.
Music only control
The control group consists of the same musical performances, with the audio only
