EEG Fear Conditioning Study​

Our study is primarily a replication study of Miltner et al. (1999), which aimed to investigate the role of gamma-band EEG activity in associative learning. We extend the investigation towards the fear conditioning paradigm to understand the impact of expressive suppression, a form of emotion regulation, on conditioned fear.
