According to foreign media reports, researchers have now begun to use artificial intelligence technology to identify brain lesions caused by exposure to specific causes of fear, and then use this information to "reconstruct" research to find out the patient to get rid of fear. method.
Facing things that make you fear
Traditional fear-relieving therapies often require patients to be exposed to an environment that they fear for a long time, but researchers have found a new treatment based on artificial intelligence algorithms that can be treated without exposing patients to an environment that they fear. Their phobia.
The new treatment was developed in collaboration with researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles, Columbia University, and the Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan. The R&D team has published their research in the academic journal Nature Human Behavior, and lead researcher Hakwan Lau said: "With this therapy, we can get rid of fear."
This therapy uses a process called "decoding neural feedback." First, the R&D team needs to identify a brain signal that is unique to a particular fear. The researchers showed pictures of the vertical lines drawn to the patients involved in the study and used electric shocks to scare them. After a period of time, the line of this particular color becomes a factor that causes the patient to fear. When the patient sees the line of this color, a signal of fear is generated in the brain. Researchers transmitted these brain signals to the AI ​​visual recognition algorithm, which extracted a model. This AI algorithm can also monitor the patient's brain signals and look for similar models.
Once this information is available, researchers can use this system to eliminate patients' fear of specific factors. Lao explained: "Whenever your brain shows or 'thinks' something terrifying, such as red lines, we will turn your feelings into ' congratulations to win 10 cents,' so when When the red thing reappears in front of your eyes, it gives you the feeling that it is no longer a fear, but a sense of joy to get a return on money."
There will be no more fear in the future
Each time the recognition algorithm sees fear memory, even a small piece of memory that scares the patient, it alerts the researcher to trigger a positive adjustment stimulus. Once all the things that make the patient's fears are reconstructed, the patient will see the things that make them fear, and their brains will not generate fear signals.
This kind of research is particularly worth mentioning because specific fear causes different people to produce the same brain signals. Researchers have found that the specific fear triggers estimated using magnetic resonance imaging scans are as accurate as 80%. Therefore, we can build a fear-cause library that allows the AI ​​algorithm to use the information in the temptation library to learn and recognize the fear model so that we don't have to read every patient's brain signal. Lao also pointed out that this algorithm will not be used for evil purposes, such as inserting a fear signal into the normal human brain, only to eliminate the fear signal.
In addition to being able to aid in the treatment of various phobias and similar diseases, the study also shows that the functions of the brain can be understood by simple AI algorithms, which once again proves that science and technology can give us a deeper understanding. The inner workings of our thoughts.
