What is Second Life?
Second Life is persistent online world with: a multiuser, international community completely built and owned by the residents who keep all IPOpen source scripting language
Fictional analogs are Stephenson’s Metaverse from “Snow Crash” or Vinge’s Otherverse from “True Names”

property rights
In Second Life, residents own their creationsWhat does this mean? Residents retain their Intellectual Property rights to their creations Residents may buy and sell L$ for real world $ Residents may license their creations back into the real world

Emotional Connections
Increase emotional bandwidth
Use real-world social cues and proxemics
Create (not merely customize) your visual identity
Animations and sounds add more depth

Relaxation Response Coined by Herbert Benson Actual physiological state, with changes
in biochemistry and even gene regulation
Best thought of as opposite of “flight or fight” response
Induced by MANY kinds of techniques
![Page 13: Hoch-Mind Body intervention in SL](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052619/5558eab8d8b42ab8168b50e8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Collaboration: Center for Connected Health Benson Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine MGH Department of Neurology

Design
Pilot study of 2-3 groups of healthy volunteers talked to elicit the relaxation response in SL
Target N=20-40 Recruitment from the greater Boston area Exclusion criteria:
Unable to travel to attend 2 face-to-face meetings at MGH
Unfamiliar with SL “serious” psychopathology
![Page 15: Hoch-Mind Body intervention in SL](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052619/5558eab8d8b42ab8168b50e8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Methods-enrollment and assessment
Face-to-face visit before and after 8-week “virtual” program Eliminated the problem of virtual consent
and virtual survey instruments Basic demographic questionnaires,
Perceived Stress Scale, SCL-90 R, QOL-10, SF-12
Weekly, adherence questionnaires
![Page 16: Hoch-Mind Body intervention in SL](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052619/5558eab8d8b42ab8168b50e8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Method- Virtual Consent
Recruitment of present users of SL via in world and real world ads, as well as word of mouth
Face to face consent had to be obtained Validated measures had to be filled out
in face to face meetings before and after the 8 week program
Expedited IRB

Method- Team Coordination
Bi-Weekly meetings Share our domains of knowledge Greater usability Authenticity of clinical practice Explore the capability of the technology Maintained end-user perspective Acclimated team to virtual environment Feedback on the real-world program
translation

Method- Application of Tech
Providing a preconceived notion of a self-initiated practice
The imagination stays switched on
Only material that would have played a role during the face-to-face session
We did not want to overly develop the environment with the technology
![Page 19: Hoch-Mind Body intervention in SL](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052619/5558eab8d8b42ab8168b50e8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Method- Encouraging exchangeUsing the Environment as a tool
Participants were granted creation privileges 24/7 access promoted the idea that the virtual space
was a resource itself Group text-chat acknowledged as form of legitimate
communication

Results-1 28 subjects took part in 3 separate
groups Attendance was good, but not perfect Some parts of the program/build
“worked” better than others Users returned to the space on their
own time

Results-2 Before and after assessment showed a
trend toward reduced stress, fewer medical symptoms, better quality of life and health status
Goal of estimating “effect size” of teaching RR in this environment was achieved

Conclusions A face to face health intervention can be
adapted to a virtual world, with input from team on both sides of the looking glass.
Effect may be close to that of face to face
Experimental design and statistics need attention in this field, as in every other
