Microgravity induces overconfidence in perceptual decision-making

Davide Scaramuzza, Christian Pfeiffer, Leyla Loued-Khenissi

Does gravity affect decision-making? This question comes into sharp focus as plans for interplanetary human space missions solidify. In the framework of Bayesian brain theories, gravity encapsulates a strong prior, anchoring agents to a reference frame via ...

NATURE PORTFOLIO2023

Uncertainty presents a problem for both human and machine decision-making. While utility maximization has traditionally been viewed as the motive force behind choice behavior, it has been theorized that uncertainty minimization may supersede reward motivat ...

2020

The brain has been theorized to employ inferential processes to overcome the problem of uncertainty. Inference is thought to underlie neural processes, including in disparate domains such as value-based decision-making and perception. Value-based decision- ...

The Inequality of Neural Destiny: Signatures of Lifecourse Socioeconomic Conditions in Markers of Brain Tissue Myelination and Volume

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Bogdan Draganski, Leyla Loued-Khenissi

Socioeconomic status (SES) plays a significant role in health and disease. At the same time, early-life conditions affect neural function and structure, suggesting the brain may be a conduit for the biological embedding of SES. Here, we investigate the neu ...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging is a galvanizing tool for behavioral scientists. It provides a means by which to see what the brain does while a person thinks, acts, or perceives, without invasive procedures. In this, fMRI affords us a relatively eas ...

SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC2019

From the moment we wake up in the morning to the day's ebb when we settle in to sleep, we are bound to the task of decision-making. Some of these decisions barely register in our consciousness, if at all, while others, less shy, take a more prominent place ...

Acute stress alters individual risk taking in a time-dependent manner and leads to anti-social risk

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Samuel Bendahan, Fiona Hollis, Leyla Loued-Khenissi, John Christian Thoresen, Lorenz Goette

Decision-making processes can be modulated by stress, and the time elapsed from stress induction seems to be a crucial factor in determining the direction of the effects. Although current approaches consider the ﬁrst post-stress hour a uniform period, the ...

Apathy and noradrenaline: silent partners to mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease?

Kerstin Preuschoff, Leyla Loued-Khenissi

Purpose of review Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a comorbid factor in Parkinson's disease. The aim of this review is to examine the recent neuroimaging findings in the search for Parkinson's disease MCI (PD-MCI) biomarkers to gain insight on whether MC ...
