Abstract More than 10 years ago, CyberTherapy (CT) began as a half-day symposium held as part of the Medicine Meets Virtual Reality conference, featuring presentations that dealt primarily with conceptual matters and future possibilities. CT has grown over the years in size and scientific evidence, evolving into an independent conference with pre-conference and post-conference workshops. CT highlights the largest program assembled on controlled clinical trials of virtual reality (VR) and advanced interactive technologies in the areas of mental health, rehabilitation, disabilities, training, and education. The quality and significance of research presented at CT conferences reaffirms the noteworthy role of VR in healthcare. Controlled trials have shown VR to be successful in the treatment of anxiety disorders, obesity, eating disorders, and a variety of other mental health disorders. It is also proving to be a powerful tool in neurological research, drug abuse treatment, pain distraction, and quality of life enhancement. Peripheral physiological measurements and non-invasive brain imaging (e.g., fMRI, fNIR, PET) are becoming standard for researchers seeking to quantify the VR experience. The specific intention of CT is to bring together the best researchers, clinicians, and representatives from funding agencies so that we may further strengthen and advance the efforts to improve healthcare through technology. The use of VR and other advanced interactive technologies continues to attract new investigators who come with fresh ideas and applications. We anticipate that future iterations of this annual international conference will continue to draw those interested in innovative technology to address healthcare needs across a variety of disciplines. More than half of the presenters at CT 2008 had not presented previously at this annual conference. We are excited to be able to bring diverse groups of professionals together to share information that benefits a broad spectrum of specialties in healthcare. The conference continues to attract a multidisciplinary group including drug abuse researchers, neuroscientists, computer scientists, graphic artists, biomedical engineers, mental health professionals, software industry leaders, and funding agency representatives. Psychologists can earn American Psychological Association continuing education credits. CT funding has been received for past conferences from Alliant University, Army Research Office, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Hanyang University, Istituto Auxologico Italiano, Mary Ann Liebert Publishers, NATO, Naval Research Laboratory, NIDA, Office of Naval Research, Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center, Universiti du Quibec en Outaouais, and The Virtual Reality Medical Center.

摘要 10多年前，CyberTherapy（CT）开始作为医学会议虚拟现实会议的一部分举行的半天研讨会，主要介绍概念问题和未来的可能性。CT多年来在规模和科学证据方面不断发展，演变成一个独立的会议，有会前和会后研讨会。CT强调了在心理健康，康复，残疾，培训和教育领域的虚拟现实（VR）和先进交互技术的对照临床试验中组装的最大计划。CT会议上提出的研究的质量和重要性再次证实了VR在医疗保健中的重要作用。对照试验表明，VR在治疗焦虑症、肥胖症、饮食失调和其他各种心理健康疾病方面取得了成功。它也被证明是神经学研究，药物滥用治疗，疼痛分散和生活质量提高的有力工具。外周生理测量和非侵入性脑成像（例如，fMRI，fNIR，PET）正在成为寻求量化VR体验的研究人员的标准。 CT的具体目的是汇集最好的研究人员，临床医生和资助机构的代表，以便我们可以进一步加强和推进通过技术改善医疗保健的努力。 VR和其他先进的互动技术的使用继续吸引着新的研究人员，他们带来了新的想法和应用。我们预计，这一年度国际会议的未来迭代将继续吸引那些对创新技术感兴趣的人，以满足各种学科的医疗保健需求。CT 2008的演讲者中有一半以上以前没有在这次年会上做过演讲。我们很高兴能够将不同的专业团体聚集在一起，分享有利于医疗保健领域广泛专业的信息。会议继续吸引多学科小组，包括药物滥用研究人员，神经科学家，计算机科学家，图形艺术家，生物医学工程师，心理健康专业人员，软件行业领导者和资助机构代表。心理学家可以获得美国心理协会继续教育学分。过去的会议已收到来自Alliant大学、陆军研究办公室、国防高级研究计划局、汉阳大学、意大利生物学研究所、玛丽安·利伯特出版社、北约、海军研究实验室、NIDA、海军研究办公室、远程医疗和先进技术研究中心、魁北克大学和虚拟现实医疗中心的CT资金。
