Lucia has provided the following description for the talk:

Virtual Reality for Mental Health: Bringing Reality into the Lab

Virtual Reality (VR) enables researchers and clinicians to bring social situations into the lab or consultation room. The same virtual social environment can be presented to different individuals to assess, in real-time, how they feel and behave. VR environments can also be used to help people overcome their fears and learn new ways of dealing with situations that cause them distress. I will show examples of the use of VR in mental health research and treatment.
