Theme:
Predictions and Decisions
We make hundreds of decisions everyday; some are easy, some are hard, some turn out to be good and some turn out to be terrible. Our decisions are in general based on the prediction of the outcome of each action candidate, but how does our brain make such predictions and decisions? This course invites leading researchers who are working on theories and experiments on the mechanisms of predictions and decisions.
