Normative Decisions Between More Than Two Alternatives

Thursday, October 20, 2016 - 18:00 to 19:30

Location: 

301 Uris Hall New York, NY 10027

Every-day decisions frequently require choosing among multiple alternatives. Compared to binary choice paradigms, much less is known about the computational principle of decisions with more than two options. Previous physiological and behavioral experiments have revealed puzzling properties of human/animal decisions involving more than two options, such as interactions among these options and time-dependent decision thresholds. Why the nervous system ought to have such properties and how they functionally relate to each other remains poorly understood.

ERNST FEHR, "THE BRAIN’S FUNCTIONAL NETWORK ARCHITECTURE REVEALS HUMAN MOTIVES"

Thursday, September 29, 2016 - 06:00 to 07:30
6:00-7:00 p.m.

Location: 

326 Uris Hall New York, NY 10027 United States

Goal-directed human behaviors are driven by motives. Motives are, however, purely mental constructs that are not directly observable. Here, we show that the brain’s functional network architecture captures information that predicts different motives behind the same altruistic act with high accuracy. In contrast, mere activity in these regions contains no information about motives.
