More generally, these findings also have important applications for the use of VR in psychological research. These experiments provide further evidence that social presence is a powerful deterrent of yawning in humans, which warrants further investigation. Unlike previous research, however, manipulating the social presence in VR (i.e., embedding recording devices and humanoid avatars within the simulation) did not affect contagious yawning. We show that, similar to a traditional laboratory setting, having a researcher present during testing significantly inhibited contagious yawning in VR, even though participants were viewing a virtual environment and unable to see the researcher. Stemming from earlier laboratory research, we conducted five experiments to investigate the effects of social presence on contagious yawning in virtual reality (VR). These data suggest that 3D stereoscopic visualization shortens the operative time of laparoscopic gastrectomy by reducing the intracorporeal dissection time.Ĭontagious yawning occurs in humans and a few other highly social animals following the detection of yawns in others, yet the factors influencing the propagation of this response remain largely unknown.


However, operators preferred intracorporeal knot-tying as a ligature for anastomosis under 3D (LTG, P = 0.012 LDG, P < 0.01). 213 min, P < 0.01), although the time needed for anastomosis was similar between the groups. During intracorporeal procedures, dissection time was significantly shorter in the 3D groups for both LTG (183 vs. Operative time was significantly shorter in the 3D groups for both LTG (351 vs. Ninety-four consecutive cases of gastric cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) (25 cases) or laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) (69 cases) were enrolled in this study before and after the introduction of the 3D system. The primary outcome of this study was operative time. This study investigated the advantages of three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic visualization for laparoscopic gastrectomy over a conventional two-dimensional (2D) planar screen.
