Using Heart Rate Variability measurements to identify the effects of stress on decision making

理性和合作意愿是人类决策的一个重要方面。研究表明，某些决定不仅会导致压力，而且还会受到压力的影响。使用现代移动的心率监测器，我们能够在可控的自然环境中测量压力的原因和后果。这项研究将有助于提供更好的工作环境，帮助设计更好的组织，减少工作场所事故的可能性，并建议员工如何更好地利用自己的才能。这项研究还有助于将澳大利亚置于现代经济研究的前沿，旨在打开人类决策的最终“黑匣子”。

Rationality and the willingness to cooperate is an important aspect of human decision making. Research shows that certain decisions not only cause stress but are also affected by it. Using modern mobile heart rate monitors, we are able to measure causes and consequences of stress in a controlled and natural environment. This research will help to provide better workplace environments by helping to design better organisations, decreasing the probability of workplace accidents, and advising employees how to better use their talents. This research also helps put Australia on the forefront of modern economic research that aims to open the ultimate "black box" of human decision making.
