Research activities
Our research in Neuroeconomics and Neurofinance focuses on decision making under uncertainty. This highly interdisciplinary work covers theoretical and experimental aspects of decision making and risk taking and unites neuroscience, financial economics, computational neuroscience and psychology. We primarily employ behavioral studies, computational modelling and functional MRI to study how humans make (financial) decisions in an uncertain world.
