In the pursuit of the fear engram: identification of neuronal circuits underlying the treatment of anxiety disorder
Ossama Mohamed Salah El-Dien El-Sayed Ibrahim Khalaf
Fear and other anxiety disorders are extraordinarily robust and difficult to treat. Among the most effective treatments for anxiety disorders are exposure-based therapies, during which a patient is repeatedly confronted with the originally fear-eliciting s ...
EPFL2017On the resilience of remote traumatic memories against exposure therapy-mediated attenuation
How to attenuate traumatic memories has long been the focus of intensive research efforts, as traumatic memories are extremely persistent and heavily impinge on the quality of life. Despite the fact that traumatic memories are often not readily amenable to ...
2014Role of the HPA axis in the long-term programming of social behaviors by peripuberty stress
Stress during childhood and adolescence enhances the risk of psychopathology later in life. In fact, exposure to stress during this period is known to predispose individuals to the development of psychopathologies such as depression and anxiety disorders l ...
EPFL2013Simulating interactions with virtual characters for the treatment of social phobia
Helena Stephanie Grillon Le Gallennec
Virtual Reality (VR) has nowadays become a very useful tool for therapists in the treatment of phobias. Indeed, it allows the simulation of scenarios which are difficult to reproduce in real life. It also allows for a situation to be repeated as much as on ...
EPFL2009Modelling the impact of flooding stress on the growth performance of woody species using fuzzy logic
Among the driving processes responsible for riparian forest dynamics the species-specific impact of flooding on the development of woody plants plays a key role-particularly for lowland rivers. Only a few of the forest succession models currently in use in ...
2008Flooding tolerance of Central European tree and shrub species
Extensive efforts have been made in recent years to restore rivers with a view to increasing the ecological value of riparian areas and the surrounding landscape and to improving the protection provided against extreme flooding events. One of the important ...
Elsevier2006Building exposure: synergy of interaction and narration through the social channel
Daniel Thalmann, Bruno Herbelin, Michal Ponder
The ability to build and control exposure through a seamless synergy of interaction and narration is a strongly required feature of a new type of immersive-VR training and therapy system. This paper presents a practical approach for immersive-VR training a ...
MIT Press2005Process-based, spatially-explicit modelling of riparian forest dynamics in Central Europe
During the last decades public awareness of the limitations of traditional engineering practices and the imperative to conserve nature have led to changes in river management; including river restoration measures. The enlargement of the fluvial corridor is ...
EPFL2005Virtual reality exposure therapy for social phobia
This thesis presents researches and experiments performed in collaboration with a psychiatrist in order to validate and improve the use of virtual reality in social phobia psychotherapy. Cognitive and behavioral therapies are strongly based on the exposure ...
EPFL2005Using physiological measures for emotional assessment: A computer-aided tool for cognitive and behavioral therapy
Daniel Thalmann, Bruno Herbelin, Olivier Renault, Helena Stephanie Grillon Le Gallennec
In the context of cognitive and behavioural therapies, the use of immersion technologies to replace classical exposure often improves the therapeutic process. As it is necessary to validate the efficiency of such a technique, both therapists and VR special ...
