TLDR
It is verified that brain regions encoding preferences can valuate various categories of objects and further test whether they still express preferences when attention is diverted to another task.

Subjective value then confidence in human ventromedial prefrontal cortex

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the response of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) during offer valuation (offer phase) and choice valuation (commit phase) with respect to observed decision outcomes, model-estimated subjective value (SV) and confidence.

Reading between the lines: Listener's vmPFC simulates speaker cooperative choices in communication games.

TL;DR: This paper investigated whether and how rational simulations of speakers are represented in the listener's brain, by combining referential communication games with functional neuroimaging, and found that listeners' ventromedial prefrontal cortex encodes the probabilistic inference of what a cooperative speaker should say given a communicative goal and context, even when such inferences are irrelevant for reference resolution.

Understanding the visual cortex by using classification techniques

TL;DR: The spatial organization of the neural code is studied, i.e. the spatial localization and the respective weights of the different entities implied in the neural coding, based on brain functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data.

Neural encoding of food and monetary reward delivery

TL;DR: For instance, the authors found that the consumption and subsequent evaluation of increasing quantities of milkshake relative to money revealed an extended recruitment of brain regions related to taste, somatosensory processing, and salience, indicating that these regions may be susceptible to timedependent effects upon accumulation of food and money rewards.

Adaptive Empathy: A Model for Learning Empathic Responses in Response to Feedback

TL;DR: In this paper , a framework for understanding how empathic responses are learned on the basis of feedback is proposed, which can provide a new dimension to the evaluation and investigation of empathy.

Theory of Games and Economic Behavior

TL;DR: Theory of games and economic behavior as mentioned in this paper is the classic work upon which modern-day game theory is based, and it has been widely used to analyze a host of real-world phenomena from arms races to optimal policy choices of presidential candidates, from vaccination policy to major league baseball salary negotiations.

Parallel Organization of Functionally Segregated Circuits Linking Basal Ganglia and Cortex

TL;DR: The basal ganglia serve primarily to integrate diverse inputs from the entire cerebral cortex and to "funnel" these influences, via the ventrolateral thalamus, to the motor cortex.

A perspective on judgment and choice: Mapping bounded rationality.

TL;DR: Determinants and consequences of accessibility help explain the central results of prospect theory, framing effects, the heuristic process of attribute substitution, and the characteristic biases that result from the substitution of nonextensional for extensional attributes.

The Neural Basis of Decision Making

TL;DR: This work focuses on simple decisions that can be studied in the laboratory but emphasize general principles likely to extend to other settings, including deliberation and commitment.

Separate Neural Systems Value Immediate and Delayed Monetary Rewards

TL;DR: The authors examined the neural correlates of time discounting while subjects made a series of choices between monetary reward options that varied by delay to delivery and demonstrated that two separate systems are involved in such decisions.
