Fox work featured on NPR's Second Opinion

Work from the Fox Lab was featured on NPR. This brief news feature focuses on our recent paper published in Computational Psychiatry.

This work is focused on understanding precisely why we experience anxiety when we know something bad is going to happen, but don’t know when. The paper itself focuses on how not knowing when something will happen can change our perception of the statistics of the environment, and lead us to experience more anxiety. To do this, we identified the “hazard rate” as increasing over time during uncertain anticipation. You can read more about this in our press release or our research paper by Holley et al..

The news feature on NPR’s Second Opinion, takes a step back to consider some of the implications of our research on uncertainty processing.

See below for their feature: “Second Opinion: Waiting for test results to come back.”
