Event Description

The Interactive Media Institute, in collaboration with the Virtual Reality Medical Institute, is pleased to announce the International Association of CyberPsychology, Training, & Rehabilitation's (iACToR) 17th Annual CyberPsychology & CyberTherapy Conference (CYBER17), scheduled for September 25-28, 2012 in Brussels, Belgium.

CYBER17 will continue to build upon its 17-year legacy, which includes the 2011 conference just completed in Gatineau, Canada. (CYBER16 attracted 200+ participants from 25 countries.) Locating CYBER17 in Europe's capital, Brussels, provides a unique opportunity to raise the conference's visibility and highlight the importance of technology and healthcare research.

CYBER17 seeks presentations whose controlled clinical trials demonstrate unique applications of cutting edge technologies that improve the access and increase the quality of healthcare. CYBER17's key focus areas are:


1. The Impact of Technologies as Tools

CYBER17 will continue its examination of the exciting applications of advanced technologies being used in training, therapy, rehabilitation, and education for the improvement of the quality and availability of healthcare for people around the globe.

2. The Influence of New Technologies

CYBER17 will further its investigation into how new technologies are influencing behavior and society through the use of positive technology, healthy ageing and well-being.


3. The Imprint of Social Networking

CYBER17 will embrace, as it did in 2011, the exploration of social networking tools on individual behavior and societal relations.


4. The Introduction of New Technologies and New Terms

CYBER17 will study the psychological aspects of new areas influenced by technology such as cyberfashion, cyberadvertising, cyberstalking.
