The nascent field of neuroeconomics seeks to ground economic decisionmaking in the biological substrate brain. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging Ultimatum Game players investigate neural substrates cognitive and emotional processes involved decision-making. In this game, two split a sum money;one player proposes division other can accept or reject this. scanned as they responded fair unfair proposals. Unfair offers elicited activity brain areas related both emotion (anterior...
Previous research has shown that two components of the event-related brain potential, P300 and feedback negativity, are sensitive to information about rewards penalties. The present study investigated properties these in a simple gambling game required participants choose between cards were unpredictably associated with monetary gains losses variable magnitude. aim was determine sensitivity each component critical features reward stimuli: magnitude (small or large) valence (win loss). A...
Recent work has indicated that the insula may be involved in goal-directed cognition, switching between networks, and conscious awareness of affect somatosensation. However, these findings have been limited by insula's remarkably high base rate activation considerable functional heterogeneity. The present study used a relatively unbiased data-driven approach combining resting-state connectivity-based parcellation with large-scale meta-analysis to understand how is anatomically organized...
This article introduces the reader to organizational neuroscience, an emerging area of scholarly dialogue that explores implications brain science for workplace behavior. The authors begin by discussing how going inside adds new levels analysis can advance and connect theories They then present three concrete examples what neuroscience perspective achieve extending current theory, providing research directions, resolving ongoing theoretical debates. Last, address a number deeper...
Abstract Individuals employ different moral principles to guide their social decision-making, thus expressing a specific ‘moral strategy’. Which computations characterize strategies, and how might they be instantiated in the brain? Here, we tackle these questions context of decisions about reciprocity using modified Trust Game. We show that participants spontaneously consistently strategies. By mapping an integrative computational model onto brain activity inter-subject representational...
Mesencephalic dopamine neurons are believed to facilitate reward-dependent learning by computing errors in reward predictions. We used fMRI test whether this system was activated as expected response predictions about a social partner would reciprocate an act of altruism. Nineteen subjects received scans they played series single-shot Prisoner's Dilemma games with partners who were outside the scanner. In both ventromedial prefrontal cortex and ventral striatum, reciprocated unreciprocated...
Recent dual-process models of decision making have suggested that emotion plays an important role in making; however, the impact incidental moods (i.e., emotions unrelated to immediate situation) on decisions remains poorly explored. This question was investigated by inducing 2 basic emotional states (amusement or sadness) were compared with a neutral-emotion control group. Decision assessed well-studied social task, Ultimatum Game. In this participants had make either accept reject monetary...
Emotion regulation strategies provide a means by which to modulate our social behavior. In this study, we investigated the effect of using reappraisal both up- and downregulate decision making. After being instructed on how use reappraisal, participants played Ultimatum Game while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging applied upregulation (reappraising proposer's intentions as more negative), down-regulation less well baseline "look" condition. As hypothesized, when reappraising,...
Previous studies have reported the effect of emotion regulation (ER) strategies on both individual and social decision-making, however, socially driven emotions independent decisions is still unclear. In present study, we investigated neural effects using reappraisal to up- down-regulate emotions. Participants played Dictator Game (DG) in role recipient while undergoing fMRI, concurrently applied either up-regulation (reappraising proposer's intentions as more negative), down-regulation less...
Although decision-making is typically seen as a rational process, emotions play role in tasks that include unfairness. Recently, activation the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex during offers experienced unfair Ultimatum Game was suggested to subserve goal maintenance this task. This restricted correlational evidence, however, and it remains unclear whether crucial for strategic decision-making. The present study used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation order investigate causal...
Decision conflict occurs when people feel uncertain as to which option choose from a set of similarly attractive (or unattractive) options, with many studies demonstrating that this can lead suboptimal decision making. In article, we investigate the neurobiological underpinnings conflict, in particular, involvement anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). Previous have implicated ACC monitoring during perceptual tasks, but there is considerable controversy whether actually indexes related choice, or...
The steroid hormone testosterone has been associated with behavior intended to obtain or maintain high social status. Although such is typically characterized as aggressive and competitive, it clear that status achieved maintained not only through antisocial but also prosocial behavior. In the present experiment, we investigated impact of administration on trust reciprocity using a double-blind randomized control design. We found single dose 0.5 mg decreased increased generosity when...
Social expectations play a critical role in everyday decision-making. However, their precise neuro-computational the decision process remains unknown. Here we adopt neuroscience framework by combining methods and theories from psychology, economics to outline novel, expectation-based, computational model of social preferences. Results demonstrate that this outperforms standard inequity-aversion explaining behavior interactive bargaining task. This is supported fMRI findings showing tracking...
