Learning and decision making are complex processes influenced by a range of modulatory factors. In this Brownbag Session, I will present data collected during my time in Hamburg, exploring how psychosocial stress and its physiological mediators shape social inference. Specifically, I will delve into how stress influences our beliefs about others' moral character, and the role of uncertainty in this process. Additionally, I am excited to introduce a new research direction embodied in the Nutrition and Decision Neuroscience Laboratory (NDNL) in Vienna. Among others, we are investigating how nutrition impacts learning and decision making. Through an interdisciplinary approach, bridging psychology, neuroscience, and nutritional science, we aim to provide insights into how our diet influences neurocognitive processes and behavior (and vice versa).
A recording of Stefan's talk will soon be available to Network Associates via the Vienna CogSciHub Wiki Space.
