Train your brain. Become the system.

Step into a VR experience where science meets gameplay. CORTEX QUEST is a collection of immersive mini-games for anyone ready to explore the mysteries of the human brain and sensory systems.

PSYCHOLOGY SIMULATIONS - Perception is not reality

Experience neurological disorders and how perception can dramatically change.

Explore three fascinating conditions:

  • Prosopagnosia - struggle to recognize faces and rely on alternative cues
  • Hemineglect - navigate a world where half of reality seems to disappear
  • Body Ownership Impairment - question what truly belongs to your own body

Each simulation challenges your senses and shows how the brain constructs reality.

BIOLOGY ADVENTURE - HEAR WE GO!

A scientific accident has changed everything… Your team of biologists has been miniaturized and sent inside the human body. Your mission: explore the auditory system and uncover how we perceive sound.

Equipped with advanced VR tools, you will:

  • Dive into the cochlea and uncover its mechanics
  • Activate hair cells and observe how sound becomes signals
  • Manipulate sound frequencies to understand pitch perception
  • Trigger action potentials and follow neural pathways
  • Travel to the auditory cortex

Learn hearing by doing, experimenting, and interacting.
