En-ROADS Climate Workshop

Join us for an interactive group learning experience as we explore different policies and technological innovations to mitigate climate change. Using the En-ROADS Climate Simulator, built by Climate Interactive and MIT Sustainability Initiative, we will assess the impacts of different solutions to climate change—such as electrifying transport, pricing carbon, and improving agricultural practices— while working together to build a scenario for a better climate future. The workshop will be facilitated by Adem Delibaş, a senior modeler at Climate Interactive.

Biofeedback Supported Virtual Reality Game for Pediatric Oncology Patients

BioVirtualPed, a biofeedback-based virtual reality game, was developed to reduce the negative emotions children experience during needle procedures. BioVirtualPed encourages the user to practice breathing techniques to actively engage in the game. Biofeedback is combined with a virtual reality environment to reduce the pain, fear and anxiety that can occur during medical procedures. Thus, pain, fear and anxiety associated with the procedure were reduced through regular and slow breathing.
BioVirtualPed was created in collaboration with Koç University Faculty of Nursing and Faculty of Engineering, with the support of the university’s Physiological Analysis and Wearable Systems Research Laboratory.
