Diaz Almenara, Antonio Castaño Seiquer, Laura Sanmartin Galindo et al.The estimated prevalence of extreme dental fear and anxiety is 40% among the adult population. Patient expressed fear of the dentist is rarely used in clinical practice to assess patient concerns. The present study was carried out to identify the risk factors associated to fear of the dentist and the frequency of visits to the dental clinic. The study comprised … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 25 Feb 2016 · 13,811 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Role of Perspective-Taking on Ability to Recognize FearAndrea Trubanova, Inyoung Kim, Marika C. Coffman et al.Impairment in the ability to detect certain emotions, such as fear, is linked to multiple disorders and follows a pattern of inter-individual variability and intra-individual stability over time. Deficits in fear recognition are often related to social and interpersonal difficulties but the mechanisms by which this processing deficit might occur are not well understood. One potential mechanism through which impaired … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 12 Jan 2016 · 8,672 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInteraction of γ Aminobutyric Acid B Receptors and Electromagnetic Field in the Fear ResponseM. Taherianfard, A. Bahaodini, M. Fazeli, S. Karimi HaghighiOne of the most neurotransmission system consistently linked with fear response is GABAergic system. GABA through GABAB receptor can influence fear response. The aim of the present investigation was to examine the effect of IP injection of baclofen (GABAB agonist) and CGP35348 (GABAB antagonist) along with EMF exposure on frequency of fear response. Fifty adult male rats weighing 180-200 g … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 1 Apr 2014 · 6,691 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleElectromagnetic Field and Γ Aminobutyric Acid a Receptors Interaction in the Fear ResponseM. Taherianfard, A. Bahaodini, M. Fazeli et al.Freezing behavior is a fearful reaction to specific stimuli, most commonly observed by animals. One of the neurotransmission system most consistently linked with fear response is the GABAergic system, in which GABA through GABAA receptor can influence fear response. The aim of the present investigation was to examine the effect of IP injection of muscimol (GABAA agonist) and bicuculline (GABAA … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,515 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInformatics About Fear to Report Rapes Using Bumped-Up Poisson ModelRamalingam ShanmugamThe rape victims are frightened to report with a fear of retaliation or humiliation. Consequently, the number of reported rapes is under-estimated. How should the number of unreported rapes be identified is discussed in this article. For this purpose, the Poisson distribution is modified and it is named Bumped-up Poisson distribution in this article. Related probability-informatics are derived to estimate … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 4 Nov 2013 · 15,788 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing Facial Expression Recognition Accuracy Through Haar Cascade-Based Feature ExtractionThambusamy Velmurugan, Lakshminarayanan MeenaFacial Expression Recognition (FER) has a significant interest because of its increased applications in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), like video interactions, emotion analysis, image indexing, and retrieval and many more. In the discipline of computer vision, pattern recognition, and artificial intelligence FER has become an extremely active research topic. A crucial component of FER systems is feature extraction, which involves identifying … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 12 · 21 Jan 2026 · 1,656 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInteractivity in VR Therapy: Assessing Efficacy Across Acrophobia SeverityChiew Mei Chan, Soo See Chai, Kok Luong Goh, Sze Kiat SimVirtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have gained popularity in medical treatments, including for acrophobia- a common but often untreated fear of heights. Traditional therapies are often expensive and complex, making VR therapy a convenient and safe alternative. This study evaluates the efficacy of an AI-augmented interactivity VR therapy for acrophobia, focusing on user satisfaction and treatment outcomes.
