Edison, NJ - According to Edison Staff, "The revolution of video games has made immeasurable strides since first commercially debuting in the early 1970s.

Exploring the full effects of his break-through treatment, Grigore Burdea, PhD, a veteran professor at Rutgers University and a maverick in the field of virtual reality, has teamed up with two Central Jersey, long-term care facilities, Roosevelt Care Center at Edison and JFK Hartwyck Edison Estates.
