group's aim is to investigate the decision-making and learning processes
relevant for successful social cooperation between humans. The planned projects
rely on a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches including
computational modeling of behavioral data, evolutionary game theory, model-based
and multivariate analyses of fMRI data, pupillometry, <span style="background:white none repeat scroll 0% 0%">virtual reality</span>, and testing of psychiatric patients.<span></span></span></p>
