Part 1 — Training: Unity VR Workshop

#

Instructor: Dr. Erwan David
Materials: eri-st.eu/VR-Workshop/en/ (Sections I–VI)
Teaching time: 5 h 30 min (total with breaks: 7 h)

Session Highlights

#

1. Getting Started with Unity — Project setup, interface tour, GameObject manipulation, asset importing
2. Script Manipulations — C# basics (MonoBehaviour, Start/Update), rotation, Lerp, LookAt
3. Loading Resources & Saving Data — Resources.Load(), prefab instantiation, file I/O, keyboard input logging with timestamps
4. VR Interaction — XR Interaction Toolkit, XR Device Simulator, controller input, joystick/teleportation navigation
5. Sequence Programming — Coroutines (IEnumerator, yield), Protocol script for experimental trial flows
6. Cube Factory (Capstone) — Group project combining all concepts: geometry, TextMeshPro, proximity detection, timed object generation, audio

Part 2 — Project Planning: VR + EEG Experiment

#

1) VR Experiment: Paradigm Analysis and Pilot Testing

#

Objective: Test Artyom Zinchenko’s VR experimental paradigm.

Current Device: Pimax Crystal Super
https://pimax.com/pages/pimax-crystal-super

To Confirm:

• Unity compatibility
• Ability to run a functional VR demo
• Device stability assessment (e.g., frame drops, runtime stability)

2) EEG Equipment

#

EEG Device: Nihon Kohden EEG-1200J/K

Key Points:

• Trigger interface type (TTL / parallel port / USB)
• Verification of trigger sending and recording
• Latency and jitter testing
• Need for additional trigger box or adapters
• MATLAB interface for trigger sending/receiving with EEG-1200J/K

Expected Output: Verified port connection test results

3) Visit Plan (April 6–10)

#

Core Tasks:

• Inspect VR and EEG equipment
• Basic device training (operation procedures, trigger configuration)
• Run a simple pilot experiment
• Verify timing precision and data recording reliability

Goal:

• Complete basic functional validation during the visit
• Define the technical pathway for the formal experiment

4) Visa Issues

#

• Confirmation of visa type
• Application timeline
• Whether an invitation letter is needed

5) Funding and Administrative Procedures

#

• Confirmation of funding source
• Reimbursement procedures
• Administrative approval process

6) Future Collaboration Planning

#

• Project responsibilities and task allocation
