Developing interventions for traumatic memories and anxiety
Overview
Traumatic memories can prevent us from encountering similar threatening situations in the future. However, those memories can cause us excessive fear and anxiety, interfering with our daily activities. We aim to develop effective interventions to alleviate traumatic memories and excessive anxiety such as fMRI neurofeedback, virtual reality (VR) and embodied training with a motion-tracking system.
