Item type:Publication, Research Trends in Mixed Reality for Cognitive Aging: A Bibliometric Perspective(2026)In recent years, research on mixed realityMixed reality technologies encompassing virtual reality and augmented reality has gained momentum in the context of aging and cognitiveCognitive aging health. This bibliometric analysisBibliometric analysis explores global trends in scholarly output related to applications for cognitive rehabilitation and support in older adultOlder adults populations. The study analyzed 75 documents indexed in Web of Science from 2009 to 2025, using VOSviewer for visualization and co-occurrence mapping. The temporal distribution of publications indicates a sustained rise from 2018 onward, with 2024 being the most prolific year, suggesting an academic consolidation of mixed reality as a valid approach to non-pharmacological intervention for aging-related decline. The co-occurrence analysis reveals three interrelated thematic clusters: (1) technological innovation, centered around keywords like virtual reality, augmented reality, and design, reflecting the evolution of immersive interfaces adapted to cognitive and physical limitations; (2) clinical and cognitive application, including rehabilitation, impairment, dementia, and alzheimer’s disease, highlighting the alignment of mixed realityMixed reality with neurodegenerative conditions; and (3) behavioral and lifestyle engagement, with terms such as physical activity, exercise, adherence, and quality of life, indicating a growing research trend that integrates embodied interaction with well-being and behavioral change. Notably, older adultsOlder adults emerge as the most connected term, acting as a central bridge between technology and health-related objectives. This convergence suggests a shift from purely exploratory work to user-centered, context-aware applications aimed at improving autonomy and engagement in aging populations. Future research should focus on comparative regional implementations, long-term effectivenessEffectiveness, and inclusive design to ensure equitable access and sustainable deployment. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.15 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Bibliometric Analysis of the Use of Technology in Neuropsychology(2024); ; Mónica Bolaños-PasquelNeuropsychology is a science that studies the relationship between behavior, emotion and cognition and brain functioning. This science has been characterized by the use of traditional pencil and paper tools for its diagnosis and intervention processes; however, in recent years there has been a growing interest in including technological developments for the use of the clinician. In this article, we present a bibliometric review of 50,481 articles published in the research line of neuropsychology and technology. The analyses performed include the number of articles published per year, countries of greatest publication, journals with the greatest number of articles in this line of research, international research centers interested in the research topic, type of publication, the different types of disciplines and an analysis of the graphical construction of the verbal networks according to the keywords of the articles analyzed. The discussion analyzes the impact of technology on the development of neuropsychology and the future implications that arise in this line of research.25 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Virtual Reality and User Experience: Current Trends and Future Challenges(2025); ; Guillermo Palacios-NavarroVirtual reality is an emerging and versatile technology that is gaining increasing interest from the scientific community, particularly regarding user experience. A review of the literature highlights the need for updated analyses that comprehensively address current trends in this field. The objective of this study is to analyze the evolution of scientific publications related to virtual reality and user experience, identifying trends, the most influential authors, relevant journals, and international collaborations, to provide a comprehensive overview. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection database, identifying a total of 1,848 relevant publications. Network analysis techniques and Bradford’s law were applied, allowing for the examination of the distribution and impact of publications, as well as collaboration between authors and institutions. The results show an exponential growth in scientific output, particularly since 2019. While the United States leads in the number of publications, most of the influential authors are from Europe, with notable scientific output in Spain and Portugal. Current research hotspots include virtual reality applications in education and healthcare (over 70% of the analyzed publications), which align with Sustainable Development Goals, particularly 3 and 4. Trends indicate a shift towards integrating virtual reality with artificial intelligence, adaptive systems, and multisensory interaction to enhance immersion and usability. Challenges include a lack of standardized methodologies to assess immersion, presence, and cognitive load, which limits comparisons across studies and hinders the development of best practices. Future research should focus on refining interaction paradigms, improving accessibility, and developing ethical frameworks that respect data privacy and protect the user from cybersickness and the psychological effects of prolonged virtual reality exposure.26
