Neural game theory and the search for rational agents in the brain
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 26 (2):155-156 (2003)
| Abstract | The advent of functional brain imaging has revolutionized the ability to understand the biological mechanisms underlying decision-making. Although it has been amply demonstrated that assumptions of rationality often break down in experimental games, there has not been an overarching theory of why this happens. I describe recent advances in functional brain imaging and suggest a framework for considering the function of the human reward system as a discrete agent. | |||||||||
