🚨 New work from the lab: A direct translation of a gradual extinction procedure from rodents to humans 👇

Show Post

We provide initial evidence that gradual extinction may attenuate spontaneous recovery of fear. This approach offers a promising framework to investigate how aversive memories are updated and then expressed. With @yannikstegmann.bsky.social , @martandreatta.bsky.social, @gamerlab.bsky.social.

By combining this approach with psychophysiological measures of defensive responding, we investigated how progressively reducing the intensity of an aversive outcome influences the subsequent expression of fear memories.

🧠 Our new preprint is out! In our shared work with @ecemtavacioglu.bsky.social, we report the first translation of an intensity-based gradual extinction procedure from rodents to humans. doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Friends in Montreal! I'm looking forward to my visit to McGill Friday for two events: 10a: A community discussion about progress and challenges in brain and mind research. 3:30p: A seminar and reception. If we haven't met, please introduce yourself (especially if you are a trainee)!
