Since scalp EEG recordings are measured in microvolts, electrical signals may
easily interfere during an experiment. As Spehlmann discusses, such interference
may be introduced through the lights in the recording room, a nearby television,
or even a computer monitor [Spehlmann, 1991]. Thus, when we consider
performing EEG/EP/ERP experiments within a virtual reality helmet containing
an eye tracker, electrical interference becomes a real possibility. We tested
the effects of wearing a VR4 virtual reality (VR) helmet containing an ISCAN
eye tracker while asking subjects to do a continuous performance task. The
results of this task were then analyzed in the frequency domain and compared
to results from the same experiment while looking at a computer screen in two
different environments. Results indicate that in an environment with other
computers, the vertical refresh from the back of a nearby row of computer
monitors added more noise to the signal than wearing the VR helmet and eye
tracker. Even in an environment without other computers, the noise while w
earing the VR helmet and eye tracker is not significantly different from the
noise obtained while viewing a laptop computer screen in the same location. }
