The Persuasive Adaptive Interactive Xperience (Paix) is a seductive hypermedia community information system that aims to promote peaceful lives in 21st century communities.

Using the latest psychological theories from The Centre for Research into Online Communities and E-Learning Systems, Paix aims to help people overcome their barriers they have to success through understanding them as an individual with membership of many groups (e.g. communities) as opposed to a lone individual in a single networked society (c.f. networked individualism).

MEDIAT stands for; ‘The Mediated Emotion Demonstration Intervention using Avatars and TAGTeach’.

It is an intervention for people who have difficulty dealing with emotions and social situations, such as autism, social phobia, and anxiety conditions among others. This trains them to deal with their emotions and thoughts effectively. Using neural-computing it gives feedback to the user to help them adjust their thinking patterns to deal with the situation they are in.

A demonstration on MEDIAT was made at the British Psychological Society’s Wellbeing Conference at Glyndwr University in September 2011.
