Decision neuroscience offers fresh perspectives on the processes driving various economic and social behaviors, including risk-taking, purchasing decisions, generosity, and teamwork. This area represents a model of cross-disciplinary collaboration, bringing together experts from business, economics, engineering, neuroscience, philosophy, physics, and psychology to deepen our understanding of decision-making processes and preferences. The Fox School of Business and Management partners with the College of Liberal Arts' Psychology Department to offer an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Decision Neuroscience. Fox School's Center for Applied Research in Decision Making has pioneered advancements in this field for the past six years, while Temple University's Psychology Department has consistently excelled in brain and cognitive science studies.
