終了しました : The Third CiNet Conference on Feb. 3-5, 2016- Neural mechanisms of decision making: Achievements and new directions

The Third CiNet Conference
Neural mechanisms of decision making: Achievements and new directions

February 3 (Wed.) to 5 (Fri.), 2016
Conference Room, CiNet Bldg.
(1-4, Yamadaoka, Suita City, Osaka, 565-0871 Japan)

The past ten years have witnessed substantial advances in our understanding of the neural mechanisms of decision making.
This achievement was made possible to a large extent by the development of computational theory
and the design of model-based, quantitative experiments.
However, recent advances in human brain imaging, optical and genetic manipulation methods and the data sciences hold
the promise of further revolutionary changes in research methodologies for decision neuroscience.
In this conference, we are pleased to bring together internationally leading researchers to discuss the latest achievements
and new directions in computational and experimental studies of decision making.
