DESCRIPTION:Regulatory success in dietary choice : insights and predictions
  from behavioral and neural computa-tional models\n\nDr. Anita Tusche\n\nA
 ssistant Professor at Queen’s University (Departments of Psychology and Ec
 onomics)\n\nCrossing the borders of established research disciplines\, her
  research is part of the newly emerging field of neuroeconomics to study d
 ecision making (e.g. dietary choice\, consumer choice\, and cooperation). 
 The overall goal of her research program is to build neurally informed com
 putational models of human decision making that explain differences in obs
 erved behaviors across people\, context and time. Dr. Tusche has received 
 a Ph.D. in Psychology from Humboldt University (Berlin\, Germany) and post
 doctoral research fellowships from the California Institute of Technology 
 (USA) and the Max Planck Institute (Leipzig\, Germany).\n\nAbout the prese
 ntation\n\nWhether it’s indulging in a gigantic ice cream sundae while try
 ing to lose weight\, or walking guiltily past a homeless beggar while stri
 ving to be someone who helps those less fortunate\, nearly everyone has ha
 d the experience of struggling do the ‘right thing’. What determines wheth
 er we succeed or fail to stick to our ‘virtuous’ goals? Why do some people
  seem to struggle more than others? Dr. Tusche will present potential mech
 anisms and neural underpinnings of individual capacity for self-control\, 
 with a focus on dietary choice. Drawing on behavioral computational models
  (drift diffusion models) and functional and structural brain measures\, D
 r. Tusche will present evidence suggesting that there may be a single\, co
 mmon brain mechanism that elps people to regulate urges across a variety o
 f choice domains in which we have to balance competing considerations. Ult
 imately\, neurobiological models of regulatory success can help to identif
 y biomarkers to identify at-risk individuals and to develop novel\, target
 ed interventions in domains in which people frequently struggle to align t
 heir behaviors with explicitly stated goals.\n\nPanel Discussion: Followin
 g the seminar\, there will be a panel of disciplinary scientists from neur
 oscience\, management\, economics\, and computational sciences.\n
