Abstract
Fear conditioning procedures have provided important insights into the pathogenesis of anxiety-related disorders. We present a Bayesian approach for analyzing fear conditioning data that overcomes most problems of traditional statistical analyses (e.g., p-values). Also, we introduce a new software for the easy carry out of our Bayesian analyses.
