“…Comparisons to a period before the availability of the proposed system showed that it significantly increased the motivation of the nursing home residents to keep using the augmented bike for physical exercise. Grani and Bruun-Pedersen [29] proposed Giro, a wireless tracker for improving functionality and experience of VR cycling systems. Their system was based on a manuped, a stationary cycling device that allows both feet and hand pedalling in order to accommodate the rehabilitation of patients with various conditions.…”

“…Not one article thematized the relationship between nurses and nursing and disabled people in relation to neuro-advancements, something needed given the contentious debate around the neurotechnology of cochlear implant and certain controversies around brain-computer interfaces. Within the 597 abstracts, the term "assistive technolog*" (AT), obtained n = 8 hit counts, of which n = 6 classified virtual reality as an assistive technology whereby the focus was on therapeutic outcome improvement and prevention of health problems [209][210][211][212][213][214]. In the studies, the following issues were considered by some researchers in relation to assistive technologies: overall usability [209,213,215], effectiveness [211,212,214], user acceptance [213], and financial feasibility [215].…”

However, the only role outlined for nurses was in assisting in the use of the technology with patients and no further ethical and social implications were analyzed outside of the medical scope and purpose of such technologies.…”

Neuro-Advancements and the Role of Nurses as Stated in Academic Literature and Canadian Newspapers

Neurosciences and neurotechnologies (from now on called neuro-advancements) constantly evolve and influence all facets of society. Neuroethics and neuro-governance discourses focus on the impact of neuro-advancements on individuals and society, and stakeholder involvement is identified as an important aspect of being able to deal with such an impact. Nurses engage with neuro-advancements within their occupation, including neuro-linked assistive technologies, such as brain-computer interfaces, cochlear implants, and virtual reality. The role of nurses is multifaceted and includes being providers of clinical and other health services, educators, advocates for their field and their clients, including disabled people, researchers, and influencers of policy discourses. Nurses have a stake in how neuro-advancements are governed, therefore, being influencers of neuroethics and neuro-governance discourses should be one of these roles. Lifelong learning and professional development could be one mechanism to increase the knowledge of nurses about ethical, social, and legal issues linked to neuro-advancements, which in turn, would allow nurses to provide meaningful input towards neuro-advancement discussions. Disabled people are often the recipients of neuro-advancements and are clients of nurses, therefore, they have a stake in the way nurses interact with neuro-advancements and influence the sociotechnical context of neuro-advancements, which include neuro-linked assistive devices. We performed a scoping review to investigate the role of narrative around nurses in relation to neuro-advancements within academic literature and newspapers. We found minimal engagement with the role of nurses outside of clinical services. No article raised the issue of nurses having to be involved in neuro-ethics and neuro-governance discussions or how lifelong learning could be used to gain that competency. Few articles used the term assistive technology or assistive device and no article covered the engagement of nurses with disabled people within a socio-technical context. We submit that the role narrative falls short of what is expected from nurses and shows shortcomings at the intersection of nurses, socio-technical approaches to neuro-assistive technologies and other neuro-advancements and people with disabilities. Neuro-governance and neuroethic discourses could be a useful way for nurses and disabled people to co-shape the socio-technical context of neuro-advancements, including neuro-assistive technologies. Lifelong learning initiatives should be put in place to provide the knowledge necessary for nurses to take part in the neuroethics and neuro-governance discussion.

In this paper, we investigate the role of auditory feedback in a↵ecting perception of e↵ort while biking in a virtual environment. Subjects were biking on a stationary chair bike, while exposed to 3D renditions of a recumbent bike inside a virtual environment (VE). The VE simulated a park and was created in the Unity5 engine. While biking, subjects were exposed to 9 kinds of auditory feedback (3 amplitude levels with three di↵erent filters) which were continuously triggered corresponding to pedal speed, representing the sound of the wheels and bike/chain mechanics. Subjects were asked to rate the perception of exertion using the Borg RPE scale. Results of the experiment showed that most subjects perceived a di↵erence in mechanical resistance from the bike between conditions, but did not consciously notice the variations of the auditory feedback, although these were significantly varied. This points towards interesting perspectives for subliminal perception potential for auditory feedback for VR exercise purposes.
