Clinical Correlates of Unidimensional and Multidimensional Full-Body Illusion in Female Adolescents with Anorexia Nervosa
Virtual reality (VR)-based mirror exposure therapies (VR-MET) are widely used for the treatment of anorexia nervosa (AN). However, their effectiveness may depend on how much patients perceive a virtual body as their own, a phenomenon known as the full-body illusion (FBI). This study examined FBI levels and their clinical correlates in adolescents with AN, a key developmental period in the disorder. Forty-nine female adolescents with AN were immer…

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of an integrated virtual reality (VR)-based mirror exposure therapy and eye-tracking-driven attentional bias (AB) modification tra…
