Participants Wanted: Virtual Reality and Essential Oil Study

8th avenue near Olive Street, Eugene OR

Description

You are invited to participate in a two-part study that utilizes a virtual reality meditation experience in combination with scene specific aromas. The researchers will examine both physiological and subjective responses including users’ brainwave activity, skin conductance, blood pressure, and mood states. Participants will be asked to come into the clinic on two occasions, one session consisting of the virtual reality meditation with added aroma via essential oils, and the other session consisting of an identical experience without the added aromas. This comparison will allow researchers to identify the degree to which the addition of aroma provides an impact greater than virtual reality alone at reducing stress and improving mood. Upon completion of the second session, participants will receive $50 ($25/session). Requirement for participation: Age 18 or older Ability to detect scent Completion of pre-screening form.
