OxTalks is Changing
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
Decision making in dynamically evolving, naturalistic environments
Huge progress has been made in developing theoretical models of choice that jointly account for both behavioural and neural data. However, certain aspects of decision making that arise in naturalistic environments have been given less attention by cognitive neuroscience to date. For example, decision making in real-world settings is rarely confined to discrete trials; it contains many intermediate ‘information sampling’ decisions about what to attend to as the decision unfolds; and it often requires the decision-maker to actively navigate and explore the environment. These features all introduce unique challenges for the design and analysis of cognitive neuroscience experiments, but once they are accounted for, they can provide a new perspective on the neural representations that support adaptive behaviour. I will discuss recent neurophysiological experiments that address some of these challenges.
