IMVEST, an immersive multimodal virtual environment stress test for humans that adjusts challenge to individual's performance.

ABSTRACT: Laboratory stressors are essential tools to study the human stress response. However, despite considerable progress in the development of stress induction procedures in recent years, the field is still missing standardization and the methods employed frequently require considerable personnel resources. Virtual reality (VR) offers flexible solutions to these problems, but available VR stress-induction tests still contain important sources of variation that challenge data interpretation. One of the major drawbacks is that tasks based on motivated performance do not adapt to individual abilities. Here, we provide open access to, and present, a novel and standardized immersive multimodal virtual environment stress test (IMVEST) in which participants are simultaneously exposed to mental -arithm
