Methods and systems for assessing selective attention capabilities in virtual environments

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing one or more programs for execution by one or more processors of an electronic device having an HMD and one or more sensors, the one or more programs including instructions for:

• displaying a plurality of visual stimuli concurrently in a 3D virtual environment, each visual stimulus being displayed at a position in the 3D virtual environment according to a display scheme;
• obtaining a stream of sensor data measured by the one or more sensors;
• determining a plurality of sequential user responses to the plurality of visual stimuli based on the stream of sensor data;
• and
• based on the plurality of sequential user responses, determining an attention indicator indicating an attention capability of the user associated with the electronic device to different visual stimuli.

An electronic device, comprising:

• an HMD;
• one or more sensors;
• one or more processors;
• and
• memory for storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• displaying a plurality of visual stimuli concurrently in a 3D virtual environment, each visual stimulus being displayed at a position in the 3D virtual environment according to a display scheme;
• obtaining a stream of sensor data measured by the one or more sensors;
• determining a plurality of sequential user responses to the plurality of visual
• stimuli based on the stream of sensor data;
• and
• based on the plurality of sequential user responses, determining an attention indicator indicating an attention capability of the user associated with the electronic device to different visual stimuli.
