Particular interests of our group are the neural mechanisms that underlie social influences on decisions, emotion regulation and self-control involved in decision-making, and the role of risk and reward in such decisions. We are especially interested in applicants whose research can build bridges between existing strengths in consumer-behavior research at the marketing department of the Rotterdam School of Management and decision neuroscience at the Donders Institute. </p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">The Erasmus Center for Neuroeconomics is dedicated to conducting cutting-edge interdisciplinary research in decision neuroscience, and hosts the Erasmus Behavioral Lab which provides an excellent infrastructure for conducting behavioral and EEG/ERP experiments.
