Modeling the Induction of Psychosocial Stress in Virtual Reality Simulations

Abstract

During the last few years, a wide number of virtual reality applications dealing with psychosocial stress have emerged. However, our current understanding of stress and psychosocial stress in virtual reality hinders our ability to finely control stress induction. In my PhD project I plan to develop a computational model which will describe the respective impact of each factor inducing psychosocial stress, including virtual reality factors, personal factors and other situational factors.
