Summary
This study aims to understand the brain mechanisms behind fear and anxiety in people with PTSD or generalized anxiety disorder. Participants, who already have brain electrodes implanted for medical reasons, will do computer tasks and virtual reality exercises while their brain activity, heart rate, and skin sweat are measured. The goal is to learn more about these conditions, not to test a new treatment.
