A Predictive and Adaptive Virtual Exposure Framework for Spider Fear: A Multimodal VR-Based Behavioral Intervention
While findings support the potential of AI-assisted VR exposure therapy, they remain preliminary due to the non-clinical sample and absence of a control group. Findings indicate expected symptom improvement across sessions; additionally, within-session volatility metrics (persistence/half-life) provided incremental predictive information about later change beyond session means, with results replicated using simple volatility proxies. These process measures are offered as complements to standard analyses, not replacements.
