Neuroeconomics and Neurofinance NiFE Laboratory
PRESENTATION
Our research in Neuroeconomics and Neurofinance focuses on decision making under uncertainty. This highly interdisciplinary work covers theoretical and experimental aspects of decision making and risk taking and unites neuroscience, financial economics, computational neuroscience and psychology. We primarily employ behavioral studies, computational modelling and functional MRI to study how humans make (financial) decisions in an uncertain world.
DIRECTOR
Prof. Kerstin Preuschoff is a multi-disciplinary scientist and educator with a passion for communicating science across disciplines and audiences. She first studied electrical engineering in Berlin before obtaining her PhD in computation and neural systems from Caltech. She is currently an associate professor of neurofinance at the University of Geneva. Her research includes all aspects of decision-making - from the neuroscience behind it, to its impact on financial markets. Her primary research focus is the neural basis of decision making under risk and combines theoretical and experimental approaches from neuroscience, financial economics, and psychology.
