First PhD paper! 🎉

Ever wondered why people gradually take bigger risks over time?
Using VR we discovered that It's not how anxious you are at the start, but how quickly your emotions subside that predicts risk escalation

It’s not how anxious you are but how fast your anxiety disappears that fuels escalating risky decisions.
