fearbase
Project Description
It is our vision to facilitate cumulative science in the field of human fear conditioning research by gathering datasets and hence generating new information while at the same time ensure sustainability of research investments.To achieve this aim, we are developing a cooperative, sustainable, living and dynamically growing database with living analyses and building up a community consortium. The database will initially be based on ‘open data’ and will be enriched with new data sets in the long term. To this end, we develop a data curation and metadata tool that will allow researchers to contribute datasets with minimal effort. The infrastructural tools are developed in collaboration with the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID, Trier) and are currently in a beta-testing phase. We expect community involvement to start by late summer 2025. First analyses will cover temporal dynamics and investigate the impact of procedural heterogeneity by using individual-participant meta-analytical approaches as well as computational modelling.
