WSU President Kimberly Andrews Espy, Ph.D. visited STARC, along with WSU VP of Health Affairs Dr. Costello, and Chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences Dr. Rosenberg, to check out our augmented reality and AI-driven ExpandXR program, which is transforming treatment of anxiety disorders and PTSD. We had a blast demonstrating how these technologies help patients confront fears and trauma in real-world environments, even from a distance!
Dr. Javanbakht spoke with Shankar Vedantam about fear, on the Hidden Brain podcast. Tune in to hear some of Dr. Javanbakht's personal stories about fear and anxiety, as well as what we can do to harness the power of this emotion.
Check out Dr. Javanbakht’s new book, AFRAID: Understanding the Purpose of Fear, and Harnessing the Power of Anxiety, which covers many aspects of fear and anxiety, including evolution, brain and body, why we love to be scared, fear and bravery, meaning, creativity, diseases of fear and trauma and their cutting-edge treatments, and politics of fear and media.
