Virtual Reality in der Psychologie

Innerhalb dieses Projekts werden die Mechanismen der Expositionstherapie im virtuellen Raum untersucht. So können Patient*innen gezielt und kontrolliert mit phobischen Reizen konfrontiert werden. Die Auswirkungen der virtuellen Exposition können mittels physiologischer Daten und subjektiven Einschätzungen erfasst werden. Dabei wird ein theoriegeleiteter Ansatz verfolgt, um experimentelle Paradigmen aufzustellen und diese im Anschluss zu überprüfen.
