Exploring the Mysteries of Decision Making: A Journey Through the Human Brain

Researchers are using advanced brain scanning technology to explore decision-making processes. The scanner, similar to an MRI, can track changes in brain activity. Studies show a connection between blood flow and brain activity, particularly in decision-making areas. Experiments involving trust games reveal links between biochemical activity, memory, and emotion. Caltech scientists continue to uncover new insights into the brain, acknowledging the vast unexplored areas in brain and behavior studies.
