We are continuously making decision in our daily life: What should I eat? How should I invest my money? Etc. Decision-making skills can have great impact on our life and, if impaired, can lead to deleterious consequences on health and well-fare. Although these are fundamental to human behaviors and actions, little is known on how the human brain makes these lifestyle choices. One reason for this is that these skills must be studied in contexts representative of real life activities, yet within scientific laboratory-controlled settings. Thanks to recent virtual reality (VR) technological advances, we can finally study lifestyle decision-making in these settings. The proposed program will use these immersive VR technological advances and combine them with noninvasive brain stimulation and brain imaging.

我们在日常生活中不断地做出决定：我应该吃什么？我应该如何投资我的钱？等。决策技能可能会对我们的生活产生重大影响，如果受到损害，可能会对健康和幸福造成有害的后果。虽然这些都是人类行为和行动的基础，但人们对人脑如何做出这些生活方式选择知之甚少。其中一个原因是，这些技能必须在代表现实生活活动的背景下学习，但必须在实验室控制的科学环境中学习。多亏了最近的虚拟现实(VR)技术的进步，我们终于可以在这些环境中研究生活方式的决策。拟议的计划将使用这些身临其境的VR技术进步，并将它们与非侵入性脑刺激和脑成像相结合。
