An EEG-Based Positive Feedback Mechanism for VR Mindfulness Meditation to Improve Emotion Regulation
IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems October 1, 2025 Qing Wang, Fang Liu, Baorong Yang et al.
An EEG-based positive feedback mechanism for VR mindfulness meditation improves emotion regulation more than meditation without feedback. The system computes emotional state from EEG, assesses relaxation progress, and adapts feedback in real time. In a randomized controlled trial with 36 participants, both physiological measures and self-reported relaxation increased significantly with the feedback mechanism compared to interventions without feedback. The findings suggest that personalized, adaptive feedback can enhance engagement and effectiveness in digital mental health interventions.
