Annual Conference on Neuroeconomics: Decision Making and the Brain

Our annual conference, Neuroeconomics: Decision Making and the Brain, aims to promote interdisciplinary collaborations and discussions on topics lying at the intersection of the brain and decision sciences in the hopes of advancing both theory and research in decision making.  To this end, we welcome involvement by all researchers interested in these and related topics, including reward, learning, emotion, and social behavior to name but a few. Our meeting embraces a wide breadth of research; please feel free to download abstracts and other material from our previous conferences below.
