“…The seniors were mostly recruited from retirement homes and recreational facilities, whereas the young adult's group consisted mostly of university students. The subjects had to be physically healthy with no neurological or psychiatric problems, and they signed a written consent.The NeuroCar system was first introduced byLuimula, Besz, Pitk€ akangas et al (2015), and the full description of the present system with performance results from different age groups is given by H€ am€ al€ ainen, Rashid Izullah,Aho et al (2017). The system consists of a Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 virtual reality headset, off-the-shelf-audio headset (SHURE/SRH440), and a Fanatec Porsche 911 GT3 RS V2 wheel attached with Arduino response buttons.…”

H€ am€ al€ ainen, H., Rashid Izullah, F., Koivisto, M., Takio, F. & Luimula, M. (2018). The right-side perceptual bias in aging determined in a laboratory setting and during a virtual driving task. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, 59, 32-40.Spatial perceptual rightward bias which was originally described in Dichotic Listening studies seems to be a general phenomenon. This bias is age dependent, being evident in children with developing executive functions, and emerging again at older age as a function of aging and the declining executive functions. In the two studies presented here we compared the performance of young and elderly adults in spatial divided attention tasks with auditory and visual stimuli when the stimulus detection performance was measured in separate sessions in a laboratory setting (Study I), to performance when the same types of stimuli were mixed with a task in which the subject's primary objective was to drive a car in a virtual environment (virtual reality; Study II). The aim was to see if the perceptual bias could be detected and also to look at how it would differ in these two situations. 90 right-handed subjects (50 young and 40 elderly) participated in Study I and 84 subjects (64 young and 20 elderly) participated in Study II. Study I showed the rightward bias to be more evident in the elderly subjects in both modalities and in more demanding tasks. Study II revealed that in the triple task the spatial perceptual bias was evident in both modalities for the elderly participants when the conditions were more demanding. An interesting finding concerning the right-side perceptual bias was the simultaneous occurrence of left-side driving errors, i.e. crossing the lane border to the left especially by the elderly. Both of these biases may reflect the asymmetries of the attention-related neuronal networks.

“…The first is a maintenance training solution to assist engineers in the engine room, while the second is a gamified crane training for crane drivers, and the third one is a virtual command bridge simulator (Markopoulos et al, 2019). Before focusing on marine industry we have studied virtual reality in driving inspection (Luimula et al, 2015;Hämäläinen et al, 2017). As a result we created NeuroCar evaluation tool for a simultaneous evaluation of driving acuity and spatial perceptual capacity.…”

The scientific contributions develop proposals for collaborative projects, as well as resumes of the research interests for CARPE group. The purpose of the presentations was to align existing research possibilities within the network in order to develop proposals for EU projects on the different calls and available programs. All contributions were structured according to the main pillars common to all partners:Health.The motto of the conference was EU Education, sustainability, innovation, societal challenges and entrepreneurship, digital transformation for health care and well-being, and the main focus was to develop the EU mandate on applied research for the future of Europe.The CARPE network has been developing for more than ten years the now acclaimed EU policy on getting Research results to the society from the organizing Committee we expect that our network and collective research efforts by the partners will bring this objective into a reality.

The new suggested collaboration is related to the development of learning materials for a virtual environment that can be used in multiprofessional excercises for improving safety and security in bodies of water and /or in urban settings. We have identified both national and international needs for virtual training. Especially safety and security with dangerous or hazardous working environments seems to be one of the first domains where virtual training should be widely applied. We are searching for both end users such as shipping companies or fire departments but also researchers from various fields. In order to be able to develop learning content we will need a multidisciplinary team consisting which is able to design and implement suitable learning episodes but also measure the impact in improved safety and security conditions. In this, paper we will use virtual fire safety training application as an example of next generation learning. Finally, we will show our first field experiences from Oman..
