Multiple Perspectives on Decision Making

描述（由申请人提供）： 拟议会议的目标是将来自不同学科的研究人员聚集在一起，讨论一个共同的话题：我们如何做出决定并执行它们。决策是人类认知的核心，因此，对于那些努力理解大脑如何辅助思维的人来说，以及那些努力理解我们所做的选择如何影响我们的社会和经济基础设施的人来说，都很感兴趣-反之亦然。最终，了解健康个体做出决定的能力对于理解这种能力在药物滥用和各种神经系统疾病中如何失败至关重要。本次会议的发言人将从心理学，认知和系统神经科学，经济学，管理学和政治学的各个角度介绍研究和理论。本次会议的一个关键目标是促进这些不同观点之间的相互交流，以产生新的问题和对决策的见解。演讲者将描述从神经元水平到发育中的有机体和成人的行为水平的工作。将提供健康个人和药物滥用者的数据。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the proposed conference is to bring together researchers from various disciplines to discuss a common topic: how we make decisions and carry them out. Decision-making is central to human cognition, and as such is of interest both to those who strive to understand how the brain subserves the mind, as well as to those who strive to understand how the choices that we make impact our societal and economic infrastructure - and vice versa. Ultimately, understanding the capacity of healthy individuals to make decisions will be of critical importance for understanding how this capacity fails in substance abuse and a variety of neurological disorders. The confirmed speakers for this conference will be presenting research and theories from the various perspectives of psychology, cognitive and systems neuroscience, economics, management, and political science. A key goal of this conference is to foster cross-fertilization between these different perspectives in order to generate novel questions and insights into decision-making. The speakers will describe work from the neuronal level to the behavioral level in the developing organism and the adult. Data will be presented both from healthy individuals and drug abusers.
