Computer-implemented methods and apparatus for alleviating abnormal behaviors

A computer-implemented method for assessing an abnormal behavior for a human subject, the computer-implemented method employing a computer-based apparatus associated with one or more peripheral devices, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• presenting, using the computer-based apparatus, a computer-implemented stimuli including context related to the abnormal behavior;
• and
• obtaining, using the computer-based apparatus, feedback from the subject that indicates whether the subject reacted to the stimuli including context related to the abnormal behavior,
• wherein the feedback provides information corresponding to a quantitative dynamic reaction of the person to a trigger in the stimuli.

A computer readable medium including instructions for alleviating an abnormal behavior for a human subject the instructions employing a computer-based apparatus associated with one or more peripheral devices, the instructions comprising:

• instructions for presenting to the subject, using the computer-based apparatus, one of a set of computer-implemented stimuli tasks, and exercises that are configured to expedite neurochemical change in the subject wherein the exercises are configured to increase expression of dopamine in the subject;
• instructions for presenting, using the computer-based apparatus, a computer-implemented stimuli including context related to the abnormal behavior,
• wherein the one of the set of computer-implemented stimuli, tasks, and exercises is presented in the range of about 10 milliseconds to about 2000 milliseconds before the stimuli including context related to the abnormal behavior is presented;
• and
• instructions for altering, using the computer-based apparatus, the computer-implemented stimuli including context related to the abnormal behavior, wherein the altering of the stimuli including context facilitates alleviating the abnormal behavior.

A computer-implemented method for delivering computer readable instructions for alleviating an abnormal behavior for a human subject, the instructions employing a computer-based apparatus associated with one or more peripheral devices, the method comprising:

• transmitting, over a signal transmission medium,signals representative of instructions for presenting to the subject using the computer-based apparatus, one of a set of computer-implemented stimuli, tasks, and exercises that are configured to expedite neurochemical change in the subject wherein the exercises are configured to increase expression of dopamine in the subject;
• transmitting, over a signal transmission medium, signals representative of instructions for presenting, using the computer-based apparatus, computer-implemented stimuli including context related to the abnormal behavior,
• wherein the one of the set of computer-implemented stimuli, tasks, and exercises is presented in the range of about 10 milliseconds to about 2000 milliseconds before the stimuli including context related to the abnormal behavior is presented;
• and
• transmitting, over a signal transmission medium, signals representative of instructions for altering, using the computer-based apparatus, the computer-implemented stimuli including context related to the abnormal behavior, wherein the altering of the stimuli including context facilitates alleviating the abnormal behavior.
