This week, Michael discusses the development of the float lab at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research (LIBR) with Dr. Justin Feinstein. Dr. Feinstein is the director of the LIBR Float Clinic & Research Center, which “…is interested in understanding the intimate connection between the body and the brain, and developing new technologies to help bring this connection to the forefront of awareness. Utilizing both the lesion method and functional neuroimaging, our research investigates how the human brain produces primal states of emotion, with an emphasis on the neuroscience of fear and treatments that alleviate anxiety.”
