Fear is a type of emotion that happens when you are in danger or pain or by any other factors. This emotion happens to all the people. But some people get fears for everything they saw in front of them. Getting release from that hell is very tough. It takes some long time to cure. 

Do you have a fear? I think all of us have fear. But if you get phobia, what will you do? Oh! It’s very scary question! Don’t worry we have a solution now! You can delete your fear now. Yes!

Do you want to wipe it out the fear from your brain?

Now you can erase your fear from your brain. Say thanks to Artificial Intelligence! 

Using Artificial Intelligence and brain scanning technologies researchers have found that we can eliminate specific fears from our mind. This technique is a great solution to treat the patients with conditions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and debilitating phobias.

In a normal method of therapy, doctors force their patients to face their fears in the hope they will learn that the thing they fear isn’t harmful after all. This traditional therapy may take some long time to cure their patients. 

But in an upcoming technique they scan patient’s brain to observe activity and then simply identify complex patterns that mimic a specific fear memory. This technique called as called “Decoded Neurofeedback”.

For their experiment, neuroscientists selected 17 healthy volunteers rather than patients with phobias. For volunteers, researchers have created a mild “fear memory” by giving electrical shock when they saw a certain computer image. Then they started to get fear for certain images, exhibiting symptoms such as sweating, faster heart rate. Once they had the pattern of this fearful memory, researchers attempted to overwrite this natural response by offering the participant a small monetary award.

Once the researcher team was able to spot that specific fear memory, they used Artificial Intelligence AI image recognition methods to quickly read and understand the memory information. This treatment has major benefits over traditional drug based treatments. Someday, doctors could simply remove the fear of height or spiders from people’s memory – the process is going to be very easy and normal in future days. 

Dr. Ben Seymour, University of Cambridge’s Engineering Department said, 

"The way information is represented in the brain is very complicated, but the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) image recognition methods now allow us to identify aspects of the content of that information. When we induced a mild fear memory in the brain, we were able to develop a fast and accurate method of reading it by using AI Algorithms. The challenge then was to find a way to reduce or remove the fear memory, without ever consciously evoking it."
