This project aims to ask and answer fundamental questions about how we safely make risky decisions to guide our behaviour. It combines theoretically driven approaches from experimental psychology with state-of-the-art technology for mapping and manipulating brain function. The project expects to show, with unprecedented behavioural, brain cell type, and circuit precision, how we safely make choices, how these choices are shaped by experience, and how controlling these cells and circuits controls choice. This outcome should provide significant benefits including a new knowledge base bridging behavioural, cognitive, and neural sciences to advance theories of behaviour and laying a new basic science platform to understand impulsive behaviours.

该项目旨在提出并回答有关我们如何安全地做出风险决策以指导我们行为的基本问题。它将实验心理学的理论驱动方法与最先进的技术相结合，用于映射和操纵大脑功能。该项目希望以前所未有的行为、脑细胞类型和电路精度展示我们如何安全地做出选择，这些选择如何受到经验的影响，以及控制这些细胞和电路如何控制选择。这一结果应该提供显着的好处，包括一个新的知识基础桥梁行为，认知和神经科学，以推进行为理论，并奠定了一个新的基础科学平台，以了解冲动行为。
