About this Social Sciences article
Using physiological measures for emotional assessment: A computer-aided tool for cognitive and behavioural therapy by Bruno Herbelin; Patrick Benzaki; Françoise Riquier; Olivier Renault; Helena Grillon; Daniel Thalmann is a Social Sciences article available to read on EtoBox.
In the context of cognitive and behavioral therapies, the use of immersion technologies to replace classical exposure often improves the therapeutic process. As validating the efficiency of such a technique is necessary, both therapists and VR specialists need tools to monitor the impact of virtual reality exposure on patients. The present study investigates two possible solutions to assess affective states from physiological measurements-automatic evaluation of the arousal and valence components of affective reactions and classification into classes of emotions. The results show that these dimensional reductions of physiological data could not lead statistically to a fine identification of affective states statistically speaking, but the correlations we found could be used in a biofeedback loop with the virtual environment or in combination with other cognitive and behavioral assessments tools.
