Mission statementOur lab is dedicated to train the next generation of independent, creative investigators.
We strive to understand the neuropsychological mechanisms of human decision making. Visit PEOPLE What do we do We use behavioral and neuroscience methods to study economic decision making and social emotions. Our multidisciplinary research uses methods and insights of several established disciplines, such as social/developmental/clinical psychology, neuroscience, behavioral economics, marketing, and ethology.
