R!L: "Virtual Reality for Biomedical Sciences" workshop conducted by Dr. Daniela Terson de Paleville
For this event, we will have two components: short lectures followed by experiential virtual reality (VR) activities. Participants will be encouraged to participate in all the VR experiences.
Virtual Reality Workshop at Research! Louisville
1- Daniela Terson de Paleville, PhD, professor of the Department of Physiology. Emergent Technologies for Active Learning (15 minutes).
2- Amber Ballard, MS, Department of Physiology. History of Virtual Reality (10 minutes).
3- Rachel Torres, PhD, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. Virtual Reality for Biofeedback and Autonomic Nervous System Modulation. (10 minutes)
4- Ayush Gupta, MD. Department of Neurology. Virtual Reality for Resident Education. (10 minutes)
Virtual Reality Experience
In this portion of the workshop, participants will experience various VR scenarios
1- Virtual Reality in Medical Education (Kevin Martin, Operations Director Paris Simulation Center University of Louisville SOM)
2- Virtual Reality in Medical and Neurology Resident Education (Derek Bass, BA; SOM; Ayush Gupta, MD; Neurology, SOM)
3- Rachel Torres, PhD. Virtual Reality for Blood Pressure Modulation (Postdoctoral Fellow at the EAT Lab, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences)

Dr. Daniela Terson de Paleville is a Professor in the Department of Physiology at the University of Louisville School of Medicine. She serves as the Thread Director for Physiology in the School of Dentistry Integrated Biosciences I, II, and III (BMSC 804, 805, and 809). She teaches Neurophysiology, Respiratory, and Acid-Base Physiology. Additionally, she is the course director of a course called 'Physiological Adaptations to Exercise, Immobility, and Inactivity. Dr. Terson de Paleville enjoys sharing her research expertise and background to mentor graduate and professional students.
Dr. Terson de Paleville's research is focused on two main areas: spinal cord injury rehabilitation and active learning of physiology. Her most recent research project explored the effects of biofeedback on the autonomic nervous system in people with chronic cervical spinal cord injuries and healthy, non-injured individuals. Currently, her primary area of research includes incorporating active learning and emerging technologies, such as Virtual Reality and telemetric technologies in the classroom. These technologies are not just tools; they are a means to increase inclusion in the classroom.
Dr. Terson de Paleville is deeply committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. She holds the position of director of community-engaged initiatives in the Department of Physiology. She takes pride in merging her research, teaching, and community-engaged activities as complementary, not compartmentalized, areas of scholarship.
