Objective: This project is dedicated to exploring the intricate dynamics of fear. At its core, the aim is to unravel the complexities of how fear is experienced, triggered, and diminished in individuals.
Methodology: We employ the technique of startle reflex modulation as a key investigative tool. This approach allows us to meticulously examine the precise timing and nuances of the fear response, with a particular focus on the conditioned fear response and the process of fear extinction.
Special Focus: A significant aspect of our research delves into the impact of consciousness on both fear conditioning and fear extinction. By analyzing how conscious awareness influences these processes, we hope to gain deeper insights into the psychological mechanisms underpinning fear responses.
End Goal: The ultimate intention is to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of fear dynamics, which could have far-reaching implications in both clinical psychology and the broader field of mental health.
