Intelligent virtual environment for treating anxiety exploring the eye movement desensitization and reprocessing technique
Description
In the last years, the dissemination of Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality applied in the health area have expanded, opening new treatment possibilities for people with different disabilities. The integration of these technologies has been explored in some applications in the health area. On the other hand, the EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is used to desensitize bad feelings and sensations associated with traumatic memories, exploring the rapid horizontal movement of the eyes. The purpose of this work is to integrate Artificial Intelligence techniques (Multi-agents and Fuzzy Logic) with immersive Virtual Reality technology to create a system capable of supporting the treatment of anxiety using the EMDR strategies to desensitize past traumatic events.
