Use of virtual reality to explore the decision making in obsessive–compulsive disorder and Parkinson’s disease

Assessment of Executive Functions in Patients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder by NeuroVR

Executive functions are often impaired in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). We used a Virtual Reality (VR) version of the Multiple Errand Test (MET) inside a virtual supermarket, in order to evaluate the executive functions in daily life in 10 OCD patients and 10 controls. It is performed in a shopping setting where there are items to be bought and information to be obtained. The specific goal of this study was to implement a tool for the assessment of executive functions.
