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.
