abstract = {The advent of big data and artificial intelligence has led to the elaboration of computational psychiatry. In parallel, great progress has been made with extended reality (XR) technologies. In this article, we propose to build a forensic cyberphysical system (CPS) that, with a data lake as its computational and data repository core, will support clinical and research efforts in forensic psychiatry, this in both intramural and extramural settings. The proposed CPS requires offender's data (notably clinical, behavioural and physiological), but also emphasises the collection of such data in various XR contexts. The same data would be used to train machine and deep learning, artificial intelligence, algorithms. Beyond the direct feedback these algorithms could give to forensic specialists, they could help build forensic digital twins. They could also serve in the fine tuning of XR usage with offenders. This paper concludes with human-centered cybersecurity concerns and opportunities the same CPS would imply. The proximity between a forensic and XR-supported CPS and social engineering will be addressed, and special consideration will be given to the opportunity for situational awareness training with offenders. We conclude by sketching ethical and implementation challenges that would require future inquiring. Copyright © 2025 by SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications, Lda.},

abstract = {This study explores the psychological effects of human-machine interaction, particularly focusing on the phenomenon of the uncanny valley within the context of virtual reality (VR). This study specifically investigates the relationship between oculomotor dynamics, EEG asymmetry, and perceived uncanniness in an immersive setting with a realistic human avatar that can generate uncanny feelings. Participants engaged in a VR scenario designed to optimize their sexual interest. Eye-tracking and EEG data were collected during these interactions to assess the predictors of uncanniness. The final regression model identified significant predictors, including EEG asymmetry in frontal and parietal regions and nonlinear indices of gaze behavior. The findings suggest that the more a participants’ attention was attracted towards specific cues, the higher the uncanniness. The interplay between EEG asymmetries and gaze behavior furthermore indicates that these physiological and behavioral responses are closely linked to the perception of uncanniness, offering insights into how humans interact with increasingly lifelike technologies. These insights contribute to a better understanding of HMI’s potential and may inform the development of more engaging and psychologically attuned virtual content. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025.},

abstract = {Exposure to sexual contexts by means of immersive, extended reality technologies, offer an opportunity to both: better understand sexual responding, and in turn, offers insights as to how the same technology could help in treating sexual disorders. The present papers reports on the ability of behavioural (i.e., oculometry) and physiological (i.e., electroencephalography and vaginal plethysmography) to conjointly predict subjective sexual feelings (i.e., subjective sexual presence), this, using a sample of 12 heterosexual cisgendered women. Measurements pertained to the participants living a sexual immersion (via a virtual reality headset) with an opposite sex virtual character engaging in sexually suggestive behaviour. Results suggest that all the tested behavioural and physiological measurements could play a role in the shaping of sexual presence. Results are discussed with therapeutic learning processes considerations in mind. Copyright © 2024 by SCITEPRESS – Science and Technology Publications, Lda.},

abstract = {The increasing use of immersive technologies for sexual purposes raises questions about their capacity to enhance a unique aspect of presence-Sexual Presence (SP). Investigating this phenomenon hinges on our ability to measure it accurately. This paper improves our understanding of SP by identifying potential quantitative electroencephalography variables associated with SP. Twelve heterosexual cisgender males were exposed to virtual scenarios featuring sexual content performed by a Virtual Character (VC). After viewing, participants completed a Sexual Presence questionnaire. Correlations were observed between self-reported SP and the alpha band activity in the frontal and parietal regions. © 2024 IEEE.},
