Neuroeconomics

We make thousands of decisions that can have an important impact on our professional and private lives. Many are driven by biases. Understanding these biases and their behavioural and neural origins, will help us to learn why and how we make decisions and how we can improve the results and outcomes. In this new 2-day masterclass, you will learn how technological advances in neuroscience can be used in business, marketing and in economics. The first edition will take place on 15 & 16 June 2023.
