| summary | There is a long history of decision-making research in psychology and economics that has resulted in the development of formal models of behavior, which are inspired by behavioral data or the computational demands of a task. However, cognitive functions such as decision making cannot be completely understood on the basis of mathematical models and behavioral data alone; we have to investigate how mental (cognitive) and neuronal processes map onto each other. We investigate decision making in different domains. First, at the basis of a number of different decisions we are facing in everyday-life stands perceptual decision making. I will discuss how we may use stochastic diffusion models in combination with brain imaging to investigate perceptual decision making. Second, many of our decisions are influenced by the potential outcomes associated with different options. Specifically, I will discuss how dopaminergic neuromodulation (COMT-genotype, aging) affects reward-based decision making. |
