“…Negative affective states might be mitigated, which would imply that VR is an effective positive technology. However, literature also suggests that VR can elicit similar, if not even higher valence and arousal than reality, both for positive [66] and negative emotions such as utilised in exposure therapy [47]. As participants' opinion differed strongly on this matter, we cannot foresee the specific effect VR might have on the intensity of emotions.…”

“…Thus, by allowing the user to immerse themselves into the VE and design it in their own pace, we hope to evoke a positive mood that (ideally) lasts for longer than the actual creation process. This assumption is based on suggestions of related work [66].…”

“…The heights of the bars were updated every 1-s according to the level of the EEG feature to regulate. The two proposed applications were developed using Unity [26] (version 2019.4.4f1, Personal 64 bit for Microsoft Windows) as game engine. For the VR system, the HTC Vive Pro 2 [27] was used as VR headset.…”

A pilot study to investigate possible differences between a virtual reality-based neurofeedback and a traditional neurofeedback is presented. Neurofeedback training aimed to strengthen the emotional regulation capacity. The neurofeedback task is to down-regulate negative emotions by decreasing the beta band power measured in the midline areas of the scalp (i.e., Fcz-Cpz). Negative International Affective Picture System images were chosen as eliciting stimuli. Three healthy subjects participated in the experimental activities. Each of them underwent three VR-based neurofeedback sessions and three neurofeedback sessions delivered on a traditional 2D screen. The neurofeedback training session was preceded by a calibration phase allowing to record the rest and the baseline values to adapt the neurofeedback system to the user. For the majority of sessions, the average value of the high beta band power during the neurofeedback training remained below the baseline, as expected. In compliance with previous studies, future works should investigate the virtual reality-based neurofeedback efficacy in physiological responses and behavioral performance.

“…Researchers have successfully investigated memory recall in VR using techniques involving various cues such as words [40], environmental lighting [44], objects [45], auditory cues [1], and visual cues [12]. Rivu et al [63] demonstrated that stronger emotions can be induced in VR using AM, yet, there has been very little research on understanding how emotional AM recall responds in VR, its physiological implications and if it can be recognized. The knowledge of past experience and it's associated emotions could be helpful in designing more engaging and personalized emotional VR experiences tailored to user's AM.…”

Our memories and past experiences contribute to guiding our perception and action of future affective experiences. Virtual Reality (VR) experiences are more vividly memorized and recalled than non-VR ones, but there is little research on how to detect this recall in VR. We investigate the feasibility of recognizing autobiographical memory (AM) recall in VR using physiological cues: skin conductance, heart-rate variability, eye gaze, and pupillary response. We devised a methodology replicating an existing AM Test in VR. We conducted a user study with 20 participants recalling AM using three valence categories cue words: positive, negative, and neutral. We found a significant effect of AM recalls on EDA peak, and eye blink rate, with a generalized recognition accuracy of 77.1% and person dependent accuracy of up to 95.1%. This shows a promising approach for detecting AM recall in VR and we discuss the implications for VR experience design.
