Focusing on morality, altruism, and socioemotional decision-making, Oriel FeldmanHall combines behavioral economics, functional neuroimaging, psychophysiological techniques, and computational modeling with principles from judgment and decision-making, affective neuroscience, and reinforcement learning to understand the brain mechanisms of these phenomena.
