We are interested in translating our safety learning work to humans in order to decrease anxiety. To this end, we are collaborating with Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary’s Emotion Regulation Lab . In a new paper, we outline our ideas for how to more seamlessly study the effects of safety learning on anxiety across the species.
