The Neural Foundations of Behavioral Anomalies in Decisions under Risk

A number of behavioral anomalies have been systematically documented in decisions under risk in economic contexts. The explanations for those frequently invoke conflict between different decision processes or different dimensions of underlying decision values, which should elicit midfrontal theta activity in the human brain. We analyze the role of conflict in behavioral anomalies (the certainty effect and the classical preference reversal phenomenon) by targeting midfrontal theta activity in the human brain by means of the EEG (event-related potentials and frequency analysis).

The seminar will also be broadcast online via Zoom on this link.

On-line attendees will be able to intervene via chat and during the Q&A at the end of the talk.
