A Survey of Presence and Related Concepts (2017, background): “Meehan explored the same measures as well as skin temperature in an immersive virtual environment that did contain an inherently stressful stimulus, a visual cliff scenario [87].”
Place illusion and plausibility can lead to realistic behaviour in immersive virtual environments (2009, background): “Meehan et al. (2002) found that when a physical plank was registered with the virtual plank, so that participants would feel the plank itself as they placed their foot on the edge, their anxiety response (measured here by a change in heart rate) was signiﬁcantly higher than when they only saw the…”
From presence to consciousness through virtual reality (2005, methodology): “This was confirmed by a study that used changes in heart rate as a surrogate for presence when subjects looked over a virtual precipic”
Using Presence Questionnaires in Virtual Reality (2019, methodology): “Furthermore, it has been shown that additional equipment to measure physiological responses can be “the greatest cause of breaks in presence” [18].”
A SWOT Analysis of the Field of Virtual Reality Rehabilitation and Therapy (2005, neutral): “Thus far, heart rate, GSR, and other psychophysiological measures have produced useful results within VR studies examining attention and presence (Pugnetti, Mendozzi, Barberi, Rose, & Attree, 1996; Meehan, Insko, Whitton, & Brooks, 2002 ) and have been used to enhance treatment effects using a VR b”

How Colorful Was Your Day? Why Questionnaires Cannot Assess Presence in Virtual Environments (2004, background): “The use of physiological measures as surrogates for presence is a significant advance (Meehan et al., 2002), but is limited to situations where the physiological response is obvious (e.g., a response to a feared situation).”
Visual Realism Enhances Realistic Response in an Immersive Virtual Environment (2009, methodology): “Michael Meehan and his colleagues also used this experiment with physiological measures.(9) Most relevant to the work reported in this article was its use in a study of the impact of rendering quality.”
Real Virtuality: A Code of Ethical Conduct. Recommendations for Good Scientific Practice and the Consumers of VR-Technology (2016, background): “A first important result from VR research involves what is known as the virtual pit (Meehan et al., 2002).”
