quote [ Phantom limb pain is a condition frequently experienced after amputation. One treatment for phantom limb pain is traditional mirror therapy, yet some patients do not respond to this intervention, and immersive virtual reality mirror therapy offers some potential advantages. We report the case of a patient with severe phantom limb pain following an upper limb amputation and successful treatment with therapy in a custom virtual reality environment. ]
This is sexy... but even sexier will be when this therapy here is adapted to a VR environment for an even greater impact: AVATAR Therapy for Auditory Hallucinations: If You Can't Beat the Voices, Join Them

Regarding the secondary link, eidolon posted about a study regarding where some of those voices may be coming from last year: The Origin of Auditory Hallucinations
Lots of potential for growth in the treatment of Auditory Hallucinations in the coming years. VR's ability to create Presence and allow for the underlying mechanisms of the brain to treat externally presented scenarios as reality opens up all sorts of possibilities. We are going to be the most mentally sound dystopia ever. ;) |
