Honors Research — Sage Aronson — Human Decision Making

Feb 17, 2012

My research focuses on the neurological underpinnings of human decision-making through an EEG and computational modeling analysis. Specifically, I am looking at activity in the fronto-central midline electrodes (Anterior Cingulate Cortex, Orbito-frontal Cortex) while participants make predictions in a computerized task. This work has implications for cheap and efficient diagnosis of psychological disorders, which are characterized by altered circuitry in the brain areas examined in my research.
