各位同学好 继五月Poldrack的演讲後，十月中将邀请加州理工学院经济系的Prof. Colin Camerer到 台湾，两场演讲都和上次的地点相同，详细资讯如下，有兴趣的同学请记得提早入场! We are announcing the upcoming of the Neuroeconomics colloquium series. The speaker in October will be Prof. Colin F. Camerer. He will give 2 talks, one at 阳明大学 (活动中心第三会议室) (10/18, Tue, 3:30-5:30pm) and one at 台大经济系经大讲堂 (10/20, Thur, 1:30-3:30pm). Dr. Camerer is the Robert Kirby Professor of Behavioral Finance and Economics at the California Institute of Technology. Originally trained as an economist, Prof. Camerer is known for his contributions to incorporating psychological principles to the study of human decision making and more recently, to using evidence from neuroscience to constrain and refine theories in economics. He has conducted research on individual decision making, behavioral game theory and learning using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), video-based eye-tracking, and on a wide range of subjects (college students, professionals, villagers in Vietnam, brain lesion patients, autistic patients and chimpanzees). In the past five years (2006-2011), Prof. Camerer published extensively in top journals such as Science (4 articles), Nature (1), Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (5), as well as top economic journals such as American Economic Review (5), Quarterly Journal of Economics (1) and Economic Journal (3). He is a fellow of the Econometric Society and the Chair of Russell Sage Foundation Behavioral Economics Roundtable. Below is his talk information including abstracts. 演讲一 10/18 (二) 15：30－17：30 Title: Cognitive neuroscience and game theory Location: 阳明大学活动中心第三会议室 (Reception to follow after talk) Abstract: Game theory provides a vocabulary of canonical strategic interactions that are important in human social, political, and economic life. However, game theory has not been applied in cognitive neuroscience very much. This talk will discuss some recent studies using fMRI and disorders (autism) to illustrate how game theory might be useful in cognitive neuroscience. 演讲二 10/20 (四) 13：30－15：30 Title: When game theory predicts well and badly: Evidence from lab, field, and chimps Location: 台湾大学经济系经大讲堂, 台北市徐州路21号 (Reception to follow after talk) Abstract: There is mixed evidence of how accurate game theoretic predictions are compared to human behavior. Cognitive hierarchy models can reconcile this evidence systematically, since they sometimes predict large deviations and sometimes predict small deviations. This will be illustrated with lab behavior, eyetracking, and field data from a Swedish lottery. An unusual domain in which game theory may work surprisingly well is when a particular species has evolved a special niche-dependent adaptation for certain types of fitness-enhancing games. This is addressed by comparing humans and chimps. --
