PSYC57H3: Cognitive Neuroscience of Decision Making
This course will introduce students to current understanding, and ongoing debates, about how the brain makes both simple and complex decisions. Findings from single-cell neurophysiology, functional neuroimaging, and computational modeling will be used to illuminate fundamental aspects of choice, including reward prediction, value representation, action selection, and self-control.
Priority will be given to students in the Specialist/Specialist Co-op programs in Neuroscience, and the Specialist/Specialist Co-op and Major/Major Co-op programs in Psychology and Mental Health Studies. Students in the Minor program in Psychology and Major program in Neuroscience will be admitted as space permits.
