On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
To understand value-based decision-making and its neural correlates, researchers have broken it down into component processes, like valuation and comparison. They built computational models to formalize these component processes and identify their neural signatures. Decision-making then would unfold via a process of accumulating value-based evidence until a threshold is reached and a choice is made. Using this approach, the field has identified consistent neural signatures of value and evidence accumulation. Today I will revisit these findings, showing that decision-making and its neural correlates are fundamentally shaped by people’s higher order decisions about decision-making. I will outline a framework for studying these higher-order decisions, their neural correlates, and how they shape choice dynamics. I will conversely call for caution to prematurely assume something is control when it might not be.
