That work involved collecting 360-degree video of various fear inducing scenarios such as heights and claustrophobia as well as atypical fear inducing situations such as swimming with great white sharks. The Huberman VR platform is aimed at making discoveries that will lead to developing new tools for humans to adjust their state in order to promote adaptive coping with stress. The first installment of that work was published in Current Biology, in 2021[24] as a collaboration with neurosurgeon and neuroscientist Dr. Edward Chang (UCSF), wherein they reported that specific patterns of insula brain activity correlate with and may predict anxiety responses.[citation needed]
