Abstract

Misophonia is a newly-classified chronic psychiatric condition in which an individual experiences highly-negative reactions to "trigger" sounds that do not affect others. In this work, a website has been developed, entitled "MisophoniAPP", as a person-centric serious game which provides a relaxing environment for the treatment of misophonia through exposure therapy. Using highly customizable gameplay and an interface that allows users and administrators to set individualized goals and rewards, as well as data monitoring to track an individual's progress, MisophoniAPP addresses the challenge posed by conventional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Neural Repatterning Technique approaches, which often only assist a limited subset of the misophonia population.
