This project aims to define the neurobiology of curiosity by combining cutting-edge techniques in computational modelling, pharmacointervention and neuroimaging. It is expected to lead to a comprehensive neuroscientific framework of curiosity, which will characterise its evolution over the lifespan, and its dependency on key neurotransmitter systems. Expected outcomes include a legacy of open access stimulus & data sets; the development of a global collaborative network; and an increase in our national capacity and profile in decision neuroscience. The benefits of this project include laying the foundations for future interventions to improve curiosity, with potential downstream effects on many aspects of education, social & public policy.

该项目旨在通过结合计算建模，药物干预和神经成像的尖端技术来定义好奇心的神经生物学。它预计将导致一个全面的神经科学框架的好奇心，这将说明其演变的生命周期，其依赖于关键的神经递质系统。预期成果包括开放获取刺激和数据集的遗产;全球合作网络的发展;以及我们在决策神经科学方面的国家能力和形象的提高。该项目的好处包括为未来的干预措施奠定基础，以提高好奇心，并对教育，社会和公共政策的许多方面产生潜在的下游影响。
