Across many domains of decision making, people seem both rational and irrational. We
review recent work that aims to reconcile these apparently contradictory views by modeling …

People with damage to the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) have specific problems making
decisions, whereas their other cognitive functions are spared. Neurophysiological studies …

Compared with reward seeking, punishment avoidance learning is less clearly understood
at both the computational and neurobiological levels. Here we demonstrate, using …

This selective review provides a model of the neurobiology of impulsive aggression from a
cognitive neuroscience perspective. It is argued that prototypical cases of impulsive …

The objective of this paper is to review the topics related to the optimized operation of
intelligent buildings with respect to occupant comfort and energy consumption. To …

Understanding the neural code is critical to linking brain and behavior. In sensory systems,
divisive normalization seems to be a canonical neural computation, observed in areas …

Recent theories suggest that reward-based choice reflects competition between value
signals in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC). We tested this idea by recording …

We experimentally test a theory of risky choice in which the perception of a lottery payoff is
noisy due to information processing constraints in the brain. We model perception using the …

The hippocampus is thought to encode a" cognitive map," a structural organization of
knowledge about relationships in the world. Place cells, spatially selective hippocampal …

When observing the outcome of a choice, people are sensitive to the choice's context, such
that the experienced value of an option depends on the alternatives: getting $1 when the …
