Research in my laboratory focuses on understanding the brain mechanisms underlying economic and social decision making. We use functional magnetic resonance imaging to probe changes in brain activation, behavioral and psychometric assays to characterize individual differences, and other physiological methods (e.g., eye tracking, pharmacological manipulation, genetics) to link brain and behavior. Because economic and social decisions are common in many game settings, many of our experiments use paradigms adapted from gambling or interactive games. Collectively, these studies fall under the emerging field of "neuroeconomics".
