The goal of this three day symposium is to gather researchers from the field of decision neuroscience who share a common interest to understand how the human brain makes choices, both in non-social and in social contexts. A number of complementary approaches will be covered in the aim to build a mechanistic understanding of human decision making, including model-based functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, neurocomputational models from economics and mathematical psychology, brain stimulation methods as well as neuropsychopharmacological manipulations.
