DESCRIPTION:The Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind Seminar presents: 'Explore-E
 xploit Decision Making: Mechanisms & Pathology'\n\nRegistration available 
 here.\n\nSpeaker: Jeremy Hogeveen\, Assistant Professor of Psychology\, Th
 e University of New Mexico\, USA\n\nAbstract: How do we know when to try n
 ew things instead of sticking with a familiar option? When making decision
 s in an uncertain world\, humans regularly have to balance the motivations
  to choose familiar\, rewarding options (i.e.\, ‘exploiting’)\, versus the
  need to learn about novel options with an unknown incentive value (i.e.\,
  ‘exploring’). This talk will dive deep into research being conducted in m
 y laboratory on the neural computations that help humans and other primate
 s manage this ‘explore-exploit’ tradeoff. Additionally\, I will highlight 
 recent work from the laboratory illustrating how brain injury\, alcohol us
 e disorder\, and noninvasive brain stimulation can modulate these computat
 ions.\n\nBio: Jeremy hails from Toronto\, Ontario\, and is now an Assistan
 t Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of New Mexic
 o. Before joining UNM\, he completed a PhD in cognitive neuroscience at Wi
 lfrid Laurier University in Waterloo\, Ontario\, and postdoctoral training
  at Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago and the MIND Institu
 te at the University of California\, Davis. Jeremy’s research aims to use 
 brain imaging to understand the neural circuitry underpinning emotion and 
 decision making\, their role in health and disease\, and the potential imp
 act of targeted noninvasive stimulation of these circuits.\n\n\nThe Feinde
 l Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series will advance the vision of D
 r. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972–1984)\
 , to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks will hi
 ghlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, cognitive
  neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientists from
  across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally and fr
 om around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual forum for
  scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary exchanges
  on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive disord
 ers.\n
