Description
Images of our brain, captured with the means of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), assist neuro-scientists to decipher the mechanisms of our thoughts. With a field intensity of three Tesla, state-of-the-art brain scanners offer a superior resolution.
Can processes in the brain be visually represented, when we make decisions?
Elke Reinhuber participated in a study on decision-making processes about portfolio investments, carried out at the Dahlem Institute for Neuroimaging of Emotions (DINE) at the FU Berlin.
