Abstract Although virtual reality (VR) exercise has attracted attention as a factor in habituation due to its mood-enhancing effects, impact on brain function remains unclear. This study, involving 23 healthy university students, used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) explore how VR affects working memory, key executive function, and underlying neural mechanisms. Our findings indicate that 10-min session improved mood (arousal vitality level) memory task performance (3-back task) more effectively than or rest alone. Furthermore, the results confirmed increased from interventions was associated with 3-back performance. However, specific regions contributing this enhancement remain unidentified. These highlight optimal program for enhancing by increasing level. insights underscore VR’s potential novel modality benefits extending beyond adherence potentially preventing dementia depression.

When listening to music, we naturally move our bodies rhythmically the beat, which can be pleasurable and difficult resist. This sensation of wanting body music has been called "groove." Following pioneering humanities research, psychological neuroscientific studies have provided insights on associated musical features, behavioral responses, phenomenological aspects, brain structural functional correlates groove experience. Groove research advanced field science more generally informed understanding bidirectional links between perception action, role motor system in prediction. Activity reward-related networks during is with experience, this neural activity linked temporal prediction learning. article reviews as a phenomenon neurophysiological that link rhythm perception, sensorimotor prediction, reward processing. Promising future directions range from elucidating specific mechanisms exploring clinical applications socio-cultural implications groove.

Introduction Approximately 27.5% of adults worldwide fail to meet the recommended 150 min per week moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Music is a powerful tool that enhances positive affective responses and exercise adherence. However, little known regarding which types music are most effective in enhancing these benefits. Groove, induces sensation “wanting move music” associated with responses, may help make self-paced more active pleasant. Therefore, this study, we examined effects high-groove (HG) on mood responses. Methods Thirty-eight university students (18 males) participated randomized crossover study under two experimental conditions. The participants ran treadmill for 10 at self-selected comfortable speed while listening HG low-groove (LG) playlists. Results playlist received higher groove ratings than LG playlist. Self-selected running (vitality arousal) were greater condition only women. Exercise intensity measured using heart rate perceived exertion was comparable between positively correlated (HG-LG) vitality changes (post-pre). Conclusion These results suggest promotes response adherence, particularly female students. Moreover, observed sex difference suggests individual differences perception also influence behavior. Focusing groove, musical characteristic distinct from tempo volume, our provides comprehensive understanding compatible exercise, examining potential its findings contribute health promotion by encouraging living via exercise.

The urge to move one’s body with pleasurable sensations induced by listening music are defined as groove. Individual differences in groove have been noted, but most of these predominantly limited personal musical abilities. This study thus aimed examine the influence pre-listening mood on Online experiments were conducted using drum breaks. primary results follows: (1) experience varied listener’s before music. (2) participants who a positive rated break groovier than those had negative mood. (3) tendency was more evident for stimuli higher levels, experiencing groovier. In sum, ratings moods individual listeners.
