A virtual-reality drumming program is being used to test how self-image impacts drumming capabilities. New Scientist recently reported on research at the University of Spain at Barcelona that used a drumming simulation to show how one’s self-image leads to behavioral and cognitive changes. The virtual-reality simulation used a casually dressed avatar and a formally dressed one to test how drumming patterns were impacted.

The researchers hope to use the information to impact how we understand learning, training, education, psychotherapy, and rehabilitation.
