- Abstract: Clinical tools involving immersive virtual reality (VR) may bring several
advantages to cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology. However, there are
some technical and methodological pitfalls. The American Academy of Clinical
Neuropsychology (AACN) and the National Academy of Neuropsychology (NAN) raised
8 key issues pertaining to Computerized Neuropsychological Assessment Devices.
These issues pertain to: (1) the safety and effectivity; (2) the identity of
the end-user; (3) the technical hardware and software features; (4) privacy and
data security; (5) the psychometric properties; (6) examinee issues; (7) the
use of reporting services; and (8) the reliability of the responses and
results. The VR Everyday Assessment Lab (VR-EAL) is the first immersive VR
neuropsychological battery with enhanced ecological validity for the assessment
of everyday cognitive functions by offering a pleasant testing experience
without inducing cybersickness. The VR-EAL meets the criteria of the NAN and
AACN, addresses the methodological pitfalls, and brings advantages for
neuropsychological testing. However, there are still shortcomings of the
VR-EAL, which should be addressed. Future iterations should strive to improve
the embodiment illusion in VR-EAL and the creation of an open access VR
software library should be attempted. The discussed studies demonstrate the
utility of VR methods in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology.

Third, for auction communication reduction, we design a deep reinforcement learning-based auctioneer to accelerate this auction process.
