Keyword: decision making

Decision making - this is the cognitive process of selecting a course or action among alternatives, a problem-solving activity that in principle is expected to identify the optimal solution to meet individual or task goals, although bias usually affects decisions. The decision maker has many influences on their selection including their needs, values, preferences, beliefs, knowledge and their environment. Decision making is an area of intense study in neuroscience and using techniques like fMRI and EEG, we can study brain activity patterns during decision making in different brain regions.
