Abstract

A system is provided for enabling a user to overcome introversion. The system is configured to enable the user to engage in a first and a second activity in a virtual environment, directed to rewire a first and a second defective wiring, respectively. The first defective wiring results in tendency to be selective in information gathering. The second defective wiring results in reduced speed of verbal response to open stimuli. Symptom of the first and the second defective wirings is introversion. Engagement in the second activity is enabled after the user has at least participated in the first activity. Automated instructions are provided to the user to engage in activities performed in a real world environment directed to rewire the first and the second defective wiring.
