VR Immersion vs Ketamine Dissociation

Shifting Realities: A Comprehensive Neuroscientific Comparison of VR Immersion and Ketamine-Induced Dissociation Exploring Similarities, Dissimilarities, and Therapeutic Synergies in Altered States of Consciousness Researched and prepared by QuestRequestVR   VR Immersion vs. Ketamine Dissociation A Professional Comparison of Reality-Shifting Mechanisms Based on a review of scientific literature, both virtual reality (VR) immersion and ketamine-induced dissociation (particularly in high doses leading to a "K-hole") involve mechanisms that alter perception of reality, creating a sense of shifting into alternate states. VR achieves this through digital sensory manipulation, fostering a "sense of presence" where users feel immersed in a virtual environment, often tricking the brain's perceptual systems into believing the simulation is real to varying degrees. This is supported by ne...
