Neurobiological mechanisms of decision under uncertainty

Abstract:: The goal of this project is to investigate the role of uncertainty on human behaviour and brain function. I aim to: 1) understand how uncertainty guides decisions, 2) characterise the dynamics of brain networks engaged in decisions under uncertainty, 3) study the impact of anatomical networks on normal behavioural and functional connectivity variability. The outcomes of this project will provide a deeper knowledge of the brain mechanisms and the structural factors that contribute to the way in which uncertainty shapes human decisions. This will be the first attempt to link decision under uncertainty with brain networks, and will lead to a new level of understanding of the neurobiology of decision-making.
