Experimental paradigm. Two circles moved randomly on the screen and a shock was administered to the participant if they touched. The inset represents threat proximity (the distance between the two circles), which varied continuously. A central goal of the study was to determine the extent to which signal fluctuations in brain regions (such as the anterior insula) followed threat-related factors (including proximity) and their interactions.
