<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.

<p>The physical capabilities are reduced in individuals with neuromotor damage. The balance <br/>and motor skills are aff ected by diseases in the nervous system. Virtual reality (VR) has been <br/>used to balance recovery and motor function these individuals, but its eff ectiveness is not <br/>fully known. The aim of this study was to identify and analyze studies that investigated the <br/>eff ectiveness of virtual technology in the rehabilitation of the body balance and motor <br/>skills of individuals with neuromotor defi cits. We included clinical trials and / or randomized <br/>controlled trials published in English and Portuguese between 2001 and 2011, wich used <br/>with VR exercises as therapy for individuals of both genders, aged 45 years or more with <br/>neurological disorders. The following databases were consulted: Medline, BVS, SciELO and <br/>PEDro. Studies found in the references were also considered for further reviews. The PEDro <br/>scale was used to evaluate the scientifi c quality of articles. Studies with a minimum of 6 points <br/>on this scale were included and analyzed, totalling of seven studies. The mean eff ect size for <br/>the virtual rehabilitation body balance (0.50 ± 0.35) and motor skills (0.52 ± 0.34) were better <br/>to other interventions (0.17 ± 0.16 and 0.25 ± 0.22 respectively). VR proved to be eff ective <br/>in the rehabilitation of the body balance and motor skills of individuals with neuromotor <br/>defi cits although the amount of evidence is still limited. Despite the positive eff ect shown <br/>the method should still be used with care and also studied in subjects with other conditions.</p>
