Summary

This study tests whether a brief virtual reality training program can improve self-awareness and thinking skills in healthy young people aged 18 to 29. Participants will use a VR platform called EYME to explore their personal identity in a safe, immersive environment. Researchers will measure changes in self-concept clarity, metacognition, and reflective thinking over one month. The goal is to understand how such training might support mental health and personal development.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Immersive training using a virtual reality platform called EYME (Explore Your Meanings)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a new way to help young people build self-awareness and mental skills that protect against future mental health problems.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, early study with only 55 healthy volunteers. It measures changes over just one month, so any benefits may be short-lived or not apply to people with mental health conditions.
