Summary

The purpose of this research is to develop an objective assessment based on the virtual reality techniques which is used for evaluate addiction severity.

Detailed description

In order to evaluate the addiction severity and the effect of rehabilitation objectively, this study develops a virtual environment model based on the virtual reality technique, making the subjects in a drug related or neutral scene , at the same time recording the physical signs and eye movements index. Reliability and validity of this system will also be tested in this study.
