Erasmus Centre for Neuroeconomics

Economics, psychology, and neuroscience are converging today into a single discipline with the ultimate aim of providing a general theory of human behavior - Neuroeconomics.
The goal of this discipline is to understand the processes that connect sensation and action by revealing the neurobiological mechanisms by which decisions are made.

We are a research centre of the Erasmus University with participation of the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour: Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging at the Radboud University, Nijmegen.
