Social Robotics to Detect and Relieve Fear and Anxiety based on Neurophysiological Responses
Of National scope. With a Public character. It has been granted under a regime of Competitive.
In collaboration with other entities. Role: Member
The subproject Social Robotics for detecting and alleviating fear and anxiety based on neurophysiological responses (SR-AETERNAL) aims to use neuroarchitecture-inspired social robotics (SR) environments for the alleviation of fear and anxiety in social anxiety disorder (SAD). The delivery of personalized therapy is based on neurobiofeedback from physiological responses following the presentation of visual, sound and even tactile stimuli. Aspects of biomedical engineering are addressed to solve this disorder: validation methods, rehabilitation, bioelectrical sensor processing, signal processing, decision support systems, image processing and advanced interfaces. A person with SAD experiences symptoms of fear or anxiety in situations where he or she may be examined, evaluated or judged by others. The fear that people with social anxiety disorder have in social situations is so intense that they feel it is beyond their control. Some people with this disorder do not feel anxiety in social interactions, but they do feel anxiety in performances. They feel anxiety in situations such as giving a speech, playing a sport, or playing a musical instrument on stage. If left untreated, SAD can last for many years or even a lifetime. The proposal focuses on alleviating the fear and anxiety of adolescents and young adults with anxiety through cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) using social robotics. The study targets users of various ages, as well as people with autism spectrum d
