Venue: Copland Theatre, Copland Theatre
Presenters: Professor Read Montague
Neuroscience methodologies are progressing to a point where detailed measures of brain function are being connected to crucial aspects of cognitive function. These methods now reach into domains not even imaginable a short 30 years ago: neurolaw, neuroeconomics, neuroethics, neuropolitics, and so on. The work is in its early days and some of these efforts are hyped beyond their reasonable extension; however, these fields all point to our growing capacity to probe the physical underpinnings of mental function in socially relevant contexts.
In this talk, Professor Read Montague will survey our recent work on humans interacting with markets, political bias, legally relevant mental states, and the potent impact of belief states on neural function.
Professor Read Montague is the founding director of the Human Neuroimaging Laboratory and the Computational Psychiatry Unit of the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Center at Virginia Tech where he is also a professor of Physics.
