Welcome to the Virtual Environment Navigation Laboratory

The VENLab is a research facility designed to investigate human visual control of locomotion and the nature of cognitive maps during navigation. Virtual environments are presented to human participants via head-mounted display while their positions are recorded during movement. The VENLab is located at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Please enjoy your visit to our website.
