大家好 7/12(四) 於阳明神研所 图资大楼839教室举行一场神经经济学演讲 讲者为Stanford 大学心理系、神经科学所的 Brian Knutson教授 演讲时间为下午2:00-3:30 敬请拨冗参与 详细资讯如下 --- Dear Colleagues, Brian Knutson, Associate Professor in Psychology and Neuroscience at Stanford University, will be our upcoming special seminar speaker. Prof. Knutson is a leading scholar in neuroeconomics and affective neuroscience. His research focuses on emotion, decision making, and psychopathology. More recently, he has also begun to investigate decision making in elderly adults. Please see his talk information below. Date and Time: 7/12 (Thurs) 2pm-3:30pm. Location: 阳明大学图资大楼839室 Title: Anticipatory affect and the neural prediction of choice Speaker: Brian Knutson, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Psychology and Neuroscience Stanford University Abstract: Affect occurs not only in response to choice outcomes, but also can precede and influence choice. The spatial and temporal resolution of functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) now allows investigators to visualize changes in neural activity seconds prior to choice. I will review efforts in our laboratory to use FMRI to visualize neural correlates of "anticipatory affect," and then to use that activity to predict upcoming choice in domains ranging from investing to shopping. While current findings suggest that neural activity related to anticipatory affect can be used to predict choice, future optimizations of design and analyses promise to improve these predictions.
