Within- and between-session prefrontal cortex response to virtual reality exposure therapy for acrophobia (2018)
Journal Article
Landowska, A., Roberts, D., Eachus, P., & Barrett, A. (2018). Within- and between-session prefrontal cortex response to virtual reality exposure therapy for acrophobia. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 12(362), https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2018.00362

Exposure Therapy (ET) has demonstrated its efficacy in the treatment of phobias, anxiety and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), however, it suffers a high drop-out rate because of too low or too high patient engagement in treatment. Virtual Reali... Read More about Within- and between-session prefrontal cortex response to virtual reality exposure therapy for acrophobia.

Triggering and measuring social inhibitory response in humans immersed in interactions with virtual humans (2017)
Journal Article
Ahamba, G., Roberts, D., & Eachus, P. (2017). Triggering and measuring social inhibitory response in humans immersed in interactions with virtual humans. Annual review of cybertherapy and telemedicine (Print), 15, 185-188

The aim of the proposed study is to determine if a virtual human can evoke a measurable inhibitory response to anti-social stimuli within the prefrontal cortex. Justification, protocol and demonstrator are described here. The work follows a previo...

Neural basis of virtual reality exposure threatment (2017)
Journal Article
Landowska, A., Roberts, D., & Eachus, P. (2017). Neural basis of virtual reality exposure threatment. Annual review of cybertherapy and telemedicine (Print), 15, 16-18

Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) is an increasingly common treatment for a range of anxiety disorder, specific phobias, PTSD and addictions, however neural mechanisms supporting VRET are yet to be understood. This review summarises existing st... Read More about Neural basis of virtual reality exposure threatment.

Testing the potential of combining functional near-infrared spectroscopy with different virtual reality displays - Oculus Rift and oCtAVE (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Landowska, A., Royle, W., Eachus, P., & Roberts, D. (2017, February). Testing the potential of combining functional near-infrared spectroscopy with different virtual reality displays - Oculus Rift and oCtAVE. Presented at International AR & VR Conference, Manchester, United Kingdom

The aim of this pilot study was to assess the pros and cons of combining mobile neuroimaging with two different styles of highly immersive displays: one that is worn on the head; and the other that is entered. Specifically wearable Functional Near In... Read More about Testing the potential of combining functional near-infrared spectroscopy with different virtual reality displays - Oculus Rift and oCtAVE.

Removing the mask - do people over trust avatars reconstructed from video?
Presentation / Conference
avatars reconstructed from video?. Presented at 14th EuroVR International Conference, EuroVR 2017, Laval, France

This experiment compared the detection of deceit across video conferencing and a fixed viewpoint 3D video based computer graphic medium. The purpose was to determine if the process of 3D reconstruction influenced trust by reducing detail of facial e...
