Predicting Engagement With Conversational Agents in Mental Health Therapy by Examining the Role of Epistemic Trust, Personality, and Fear of Intimacy: Cross-Sectional Web-Based Survey Study.

JMIR human factors
BACKGROUND: The use of conversational agents (CAs) in mental health therapy is gaining traction due to their accessibility, anonymity, and nonjudgmental nature. However, understanding the psychological factors driving preferences for CA-based therapy...

An iterative approach to identify key predictive features of fear reactivity and fearfulness in horses (Equus caballus).

Scientific reports
This study extends previous findings by applying artificial intelligence (AI) methods to a larger dataset to identify key features that predict fear reactivity (i.e., immediate reaction to fear inducing stimuli) and fearfulness (i.e., a stable person...

The impact of partner interaction on brief social buffering in adolescent female rats as analyzed by deep learning-based object detection algorithms.

Physiology & behavior
Social buffering is a phenomenon whereby the stress response of anyone exposed to a distressing stimulus is alleviated by the presence of conspecific(s). In this study, we aimed to determine whether brief buffering (only 3 min) with conspecific immed...

A machine learning approach to investigate the role of fear of pain, personal experience, and vicarious learning in dental anxiety.

BMC oral health
BACKGROUND: Dental anxiety is a pervasive problem worldwide, leading to avoidance of dental care, resulting in oral health problems and impacting daily life through social withdrawal and work absenteeism. Addressing this fear is an important public h...

Brain mapping, biomarker identification and using machine learning method for diagnosis of anxiety during emotional face in preschool children.

Brain research bulletin
BACKGROUND: Due to the importance and the consequences of anxiety, the goals of the current study are brain mapping, biomarker identification and the use of an assessment method for diagnosis of anxiety during emotional face in preschool children.

Effects of Robot-Assisted Gait Training on Balance and Fear of Falling in Patients With Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was compare the effects of combined training, which included robot-assisted gait training in addition to traditional balance training, and traditional balance training alone on balance and fear of falling in patients ...

Predicting Fear of Breast Cancer Recurrence in women five years after diagnosis using Machine Learning and healthcare reimbursement data from the French nationwide VICAN survey.

International journal of medical informatics
OBJECTIVE: A major concern for cancer survivors after treatment is the Fear of Cancer Recurrence (FCR), which is the fear that cancer will reappear or progress. This fear can be exacerbated by medical uncertainty about the future, leading to harmful ...

A Deep Learning Approach for Fear Recognition on the Edge Based on Two-Dimensional Feature Maps.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Applying affective computing techniques to recognize fear and combining them with portable signal monitors makes it possible to create real-time detection systems that could act as bodyguards when users are in danger. With this aim, this paper presen...

Using machine learning algorithms to detect fear of falling in people with multiple sclerosis in standardized gait analysis.

Multiple sclerosis and related disorders
INTRODUCTION: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. The progressive impairment of gait is one of the most important pathognomic symptoms which are associated with falls and fear of fall...

A neurofunctional signature of subjective disgust generalizes to oral distaste and socio-moral contexts.

Nature human behaviour
While disgust originates in the hard-wired mammalian distaste response, the conscious experience of disgust in humans strongly depends on subjective appraisal and may even extend to socio-moral contexts. Here, in a series of studies, we combined func...
