<p>As increasing awareness, understanding, & research regarding the Art & Science of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is put into practice -- SONY has entered the picture. </p>
<p>With a potential easy to access Virtual Media platform ASMR-stimuli makes a direct foray into self-guided cybertherapy.</p>
<p>Videos captured w/Sony Xperia XZ1 smartphone & integrated Motion Eye™ camera, features "beyond human-eye detail" thanks to advances in 3D that can also enhance a therapeutic sensory exposure experience w/super slow motion & predictive capture/reflective mode.</p>
<p>Combined w/high resolution audio capability, videos taken on this platform reveal astoundingly vivid detail. . .</p>
<p></p>
<p>Ready to be absorbed in a fully-immersive ASMR experience that may assist by melding whispering with slow motion to enhance relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety -- enchantingly done in an appropriate ASMR-set of protocols? </p>

<p>Dear Colleague,</p>
<p>It is with great pride that we celebrate the completion of our 16th year at<a href="http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=f691fba4d38e2a65082b220925974f6b1ec734a9169c2bce488c2ac1afc46000"><em>Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking</em> <em>(CYBER)</em></a>. As Editor-in-Chief, I have had the pleasure of seeing both <em>CYBER’s </em>inception and continued growth. Originally focused more on theoretical issues and ‘what ifs’ of technology and healthcare, the Journal’s studies continue to show that adding advanced technologies can increase efficacy in many areas of diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of both cognitive and physical disorders. With the advent of new social networking tools, the Journal continues to focus on the impact (both positive and negative) of social networking tools such as <em>Twitter</em>and <em>Facebook </em>on individual behavior, relationships, and society as a whole. We continue to attract rigorous scientific studies that explore the impact of advanced technologies. With the addition of our new editors from Europe and Asia, we continue to emphasize the global nature of <em>Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking</em>. </p>
<p>In 2013, we also took another important step forward, becoming the official journal of the International Association of CyberPsychology, Training, & Rehabilitation (iACToR). The Journal of CyberTherapy & Rehabilitation merged with us and as a result, authors conducting rigorous studies now have a higher-profile home for their articles. In addition, <em>CYBER </em>is the official journal of the CyberPsychology, CyberTherapy & Social Networking Conference, now in its 19th year, offering yet another opportunity for dissemination of our Journal’s research to a wider international audience.</p>
<p>We realize the importance placed upon publication in a scientifically rigorous journal, with Impact Factor and indexing being two key elements for our academic partners. We continue to see an increase in downloads, reflecting the importance others place upon our publication as a must-have information source. The Journal is widely accessible in key libraries and institutions in over 170 countries around the world. As well, the Journal continues to attract significant attention from the international media—the<strong> <em>New York Times</em>, <em>The Wall Street Journal</em>, CNN, <em>Forbes Magazine,</em> ABC news</strong>, and other prestigious media outlets.</p>
<p><em>Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking </em>is proud to be a part of the Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers family of journals. We continue to <a href="http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=f691fba4d38e2a65a8e6cfe61a9650f1700f235bf48336145ece420aa1721d3e">seek out manuscripts</a> on focused topics, both as rapid communications and original articles. As always we thank you for your continued belief in our mission, for your <a href="http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=f691fba4d38e2a65808a0b802d2b4d35fee33c4f55873e51ab86f1edb7c8e49a">subscriptions</a> as well as your submissions.</p>

<p><br/><b>Why Scientists Are Fooling Animals with Virtual Reality</b><br/><i>Popular Mechanics</i> - New technological developments in virtual reality allow researchers to study the neurological basis of decision making in insects, rodents, and other animals. But do roaches truly think the simulation is real, or are they just playing a video game? The cockroach - groggy from anesthesia - wakes up. It takes account of its new environment, finding itself in a forest. The roach, seeing darkness, begins scuttling toward a shadowy patch behind the trees, as roaches do. To read more, please visit <a href="http://bit.ly/HF1utJ">http://bit.ly/HF1utJ</a>.<br/><b><br/>Google's Project Glass: Envision the Virtual Reality</b><br/><i>International Business Times</i> - Back in the year of 2009, Pranav Mistry, then 29 years old and a PHD student of Fluid Interfaces at MIT's Media Lab, was talking about Sixth Sense technology. Not only did he talk about the sixth sense technology, but also designed and tested different devices integrating the digital into the physical for 8 years. "We are looking at an era where computing will merge with the physical world," said Pranav Mistry at TED India 2009 convention. And the echo of his statement now reverberates in the form of Google's latest project, Project Glass, made public on April 4th of this year.
