When life seems hard and meaningless: Understanding motivation using Neuroeconomics
Dr. Irma Kurniawan is a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems at UZH. She is interested in how effort and motivation affect learning, memory and judgement. She will speak about these topics through the lens of mental health.
​
She will talk how the blossoming field of neuroeconomics has tried to examine an age old topic of motivation, and the lack of it. She will talk about neuroeconomics experiments done to study motivation in healthy people and patients with motivation deficits. These results help them understand the brain mechanisms needed to motivate us to achieve goals in life.
This talk will be in English.
