SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENABLING A USER TO OVERCOME LACK OF SELF CONTROL
First Claim
1. A system for enabling a user to overcome lack of self control, the system comprising an activity module configured to:
- enable the user to engage in at least a first activity in a virtual environment, wherein the first activity is directed to rewire a first defective wiring of the brain, wherein the first defective wiring results in a tendency to be biased towards short term gratification;
enable the user to engage in at least a second activity in the virtual environment, wherein the second activity is directed to rewire a second defective wiring of the brain, wherein the second defective wiring results in failure to weigh between short term gratification and long term outcome, wherein symptom of the first and the second defective wirings is lack of self control;
provide automated instructions to the user to engage in at least one activity, wherein the one activity is performed in a real world environment, wherein the activity is directed to rewire the first defective wiring of the brain; and
provide automated instructions to the user to engage in yet another activity, wherein the yet another activity is performed in the real world environment, wherein the yet another activity is directed to rewire the second defective wiring of the brain.

Abstract
A system is provided for enabling a user to overcome lack of self control. 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 an individual'"'"'s tendency to be biased towards short term gratification. The second defective wiring results in failure to weigh between short term gratification and long term outcome. Symptom of the first and the second defective wirings is lack of self control. 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.
