大家好 7/12(四) 於陽明神研所 圖資大樓839教室舉行一場神經經濟學演講 講者為Stanford 大學心理系、神經科學所的 Brian Knutson教授 演講時間為下午2:00-3:30 敬請撥冗參與 詳細資訊如下 --- 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: 陽明大學圖資大樓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.
