Research

The field of neuroeconomics incorporates many disciplines of learning, including economics, cognitive and social psychology, neuroscience, and biology. Techniques from each discipline are used to try and further understand the decisions we make. Look below to learn more about the specific techniques we use to try and shed light on why we, as humans, make the choices we do.

Functional Neuroimaging Methods

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become one of the dominant techniques in human neuroscience. Learn more about how we measure activity in the brain using this and other related techniques.
