Research

의사결정의 신경과학 및 인지공학 연구실

Decision Neuroscience & Cognitive Engineering lab

본 연구실에서는 가치평가와 의사결정의 신경 및 심리학적 기작을 이해하는데 중점을 두고 있습니다. 주 연구 방향으로는 (i) 가치 기반 또는 사회적 상황에서의 의사결정의 신경기작에 대한 연구, 그리고 (ii) 정신병리학적 환자에게서의 의사결정 기작 변화에 대한 연구들이 있습니다. 이 연구들을 수행하기 위해서 본 연구실은 행동경제학, 뇌 영상, 의사결정의 신경과학, 사회심리학, 계신신경과학, 그리고 기계학습 등의 다양한 융합학문적 방법을 이용합니다.
Research in our lab focuses on the neural and psychological foundations of valuation and decision-making. To date, our research has examined social and economic decision behaviors in two streams of inquiry: (i) neural basis of value-based and social decision-making, and (ii) abnormalities of decision-making in psychopathology. Our work takes a multidisciplinary approach that integrates methods from behavioral economics, neuroimaging, decision neuroscience, social psychology, computational modeling, and machine learning.
