High-intensity VR environments can induce micro-reflective adjustments in user cognition following sensory overload. In 2025 experiments with 162 participants, brief visual, auditory, and haptic cues—often compared to casino AUD33 Australia flashes or slot-machine sequences—elicited micro-level cognitive recalibrations, improving decision accuracy and task alignment by 10–13%. Participants reported “I instinctively paused and recalibrated my focus,” illustrating unconscious compensatory strategies.
