Abstract
In this talk, we will examine human behavior from the perspective of the choices we make every day. We will study the role of the brain in enabling these decisions and discuss some simple computational models of decision making and the neural basis. Towards the end, we will have a short, interactive session to engage in some easy decisions that will help us discover our own biases.
