| Comments | I am interested in how decisions based on personal preferences and those based on monetary rewards interact with each other. I explore these decision-making processes using computational models such as reinforcement learning to understand them mathematically, and examine them in conjunction with physiological data such as brain activity. Additionally, I investigate how these decision-making processes relate to the formation of preferences, with a focus on understanding the mechanisms behind preference formation. |
