Taste matters: Mapping expectancy-based appetitive placebo effects onto the brain

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors combined a placebo intervention on hunger with computational modelling and functional magnetic resonance imaging of value-based decision-making to find out how much and when during the decision process taste and health information are integrated into the accumulation of evidence toward a food choice.

Mechanisms of conscious and unconscious interpretative processes

TL;DR: In this paper, responses to inconsistencies both in the environment and in subjects' own behavior were explored, where subjects adapt their interpretations when confronted with inconsistencies in their own behavior, using the framework of cognitive dissonance.

Economic value in the Brain: A meta-analysis of willingness-to-pay using the Becker-DeGroot-Marschak auction

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used the Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (BDM) auction, an incentivized demand-revealing mechanism which quantifies subjective values (SVs) through the economic metric of willingness-to-pay (WTP).

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.
