position to study neuroeconomics, decision making, motivation
and reward processing using model-based fMRI in healthy subjects
and intra-cranial recordings in patients with epilepsy. The
Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience is located in Lyon, a
thriving university city. The institute hosts an
interdisciplinary community with access to several brain imaging
facilities, such as one research-dedicated Siemens scanner, one
MEG, one simultaneous TEP-fMRI, EEG, TMS and other useful
resources. The current project seeks a better understanding of
the neurocomputational basis of social decision-making in
humans. We will adopt a combination of interdisciplinary
perspective, combining Bayesian models and behavioural
experiments in humans to investigate the mechanisms of decision
making processes in social context. Our main hypothesis is that
when we are in an interactive social setting, our brain performs
Bayesian inferences using probabilistic representations of other
individuals’ intentions and cooperativeness. The project will be
supervised by Dr. Jean-Claude Dreher. </span><span
