Electroencephalography Signal Analysis for Virtual Reality Sickness: Head-mounted Display and Screen-based

The use of virtual reality (VR) technology is growing in the current era COVID-19 pandemic. However, VR causing problems for its users. Some symptoms, such as nausea, headache, and eye strain, are felt after using VR. These symptoms called sickness. This study used electroencephalography (EEG) to record participants' brain activity changes when experiencing Participants given impressions via screens head-mounted displays (HMD). In addition, subject also filled out a simulator sickness questionnaire (SSQ) before being Brain waves alpha frequency range (8 Hz-13 Hz) low beta (13 Hz-21 were analyzed through power spectral density (PSD). From SSQ results, participants who saw screen experienced increased nausea symptoms. On other hand, HMD an increase oculomotor (p<0.05). Based on analysis, wave PSD obtained frontal, central, parietal regions. There was shift value peak from average shifts significant value. Therefore, it concluded that viewing more than form results.
