Neuroeconomics

Understanding decision-making through the lens of neuroscience and economics.

Published: 8/6/2025
# Neuroeconomics: Where Mind Meets Market Neuroeconomics represents a fascinating convergence of neuroscience, psychology, and economics. By studying how our brains make decisions, we can better understand everything from individual choices to market dynamics. ## Key Discoveries Research shows that emotions play a crucial role in all decisions, the brain's reward system reveals how we process value, and our brains are wired for social consideration in economic contexts. ## Applications Understanding brain responses helps explain market bubbles and crashes, consumer behavior, and can improve public policy through better understanding of how people actually make decisions. ## Research Focus I'm particularly interested in decision-making under uncertainty, social influence on economic choices, and how digital environments change our choices.
