  • Changes of physiological indexs [ Time Frame: In 1 year ]
    The physiological index including galvanic skin response、encephlogram and electromyogram will be used to evaluate the reliability and validity of the virtual reality based addiction assessment system, and construct the norms of assessment system as well.
  • Changes of eye movement index [ Time Frame: In 1 year ]
    The eye movement index will be used to evaluate the reliability and validity of the virtual reality based addiction assessment system, and construct the norms of assessment system as well.
