Background. Virtual reality (VR) is widely used in medical devices, including the assessment and correction of phobic anxiety disorders. The paper proposes an original technique for controlling and correcting phobic disorders from practical reality. Materials and methods. The paper provides a review and critical analysis of the methods and means for assessing anxiety-phobic disorders through the registration and digital processing of physiological signals, as well as the adaptation of various scenes of virtual reality to the current state of the user. Results and Conclusions. The article presents a methodology for studying phobic anxiety disorders in the VR environment, which makes it possible to adapt VR scenes for a specific user, taking into account his individual characteristics and behavior parameters. Adaptation of VR scenes is carried out by selecting the optimal set of hidden signal patterns recorded on the ECG and EEG signals.
