Predicting danger: The nature, consequences, and neural mechanisms of predictive fear learning

这个项目对国家有四大好处。首先，它从一个新的角度解决了一个基本的科学问题，以增加知识。通过结合创新的方法来研究大脑如何预测危险，它将揭示大脑和行为之间的关系。第二，该项目将显著提高澳大利亚在实验心理学领域的国际竞争力和声誉。第三，该项目产生的知识有可能通过解决日益重要的健康问题——焦虑——来改善澳大利亚人的福利。最后，该项目为澳大利亚心理学学生提供了优秀的、具有国际竞争力的培训机会。

This project has four major national benefits. First, it addresses a fundamental scientific issue from a novel perspective to increase knowledge. By combining innovative approaches to study how the brain predicts danger, it will shed light on the relationship between brain and behaviour. Second, the project will contribute significantly to Australia's international competitiveness and reputation in experimental psychology. Third, the knowledge generated by this project has the potential to improve the welfare of Australians by addressing an increasingly important health problem - anxiety. Finally, the project provides outstanding, internationally competitive, training opportunities for Australian students in Psychology.
