A neuroadaptive VR system for the treatment of arachnophobia
Researchers at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) have developed a novel virtual reality (VR) system that could make the treatment of arachnophobia, also known as spider phobia, more targeted and personalized in the future. The work is published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.
A team of TU Graz now provides a new system for simulating environments with VR glasses and adapting the stimuli to the level of anxiety in real time. Spider anxiety is one of the most common phobias in the world. Researchers at TU Graz have taken on the problem and developed a new virtual reality system that is used for confrontation therapy. Affected people are put on VR glasses and shown spiders. By means of brain flow and heart rate measurem…
Researchers at TU Graz have developed a forward-looking VR system to improve the treatment of spider phobias. It adapts the intensity of anxiety stimuli based on EEG data and heart rate and could make the therapy more personalized and targeted.
