Patients suffering from alcohol addiction still have a high risk to suffer a relapse. Changes in psychophysiological parameters that are known to occur following such a relapse may also occur within the scope of alcohol craving prior to imminent alcohol relapse and hence may provide the potential to act as a predictor. The principal aim of this interdisciplinary workshop was to clarify, if abstinent alcohol patients can be distinguished from healthy volunteers merely due to domain knowledge based on psychophysiological sensor data recorded in a cue-related clinical study setting. Currently, the results did not fully support this hypothesis, yet. As expected, significant withdrawal symptoms could be identified. In addition, a suspicious 0.1 Hz component of the heart rate variability led predominantly to correct classification.
