Title: The Dynamic Interplay between Reward and Attention in the Human Brain

Abstract:
The cognitive functions of attention and reward processing both play fundamental roles in our successful functioning in our complex world.  Although these two cognitive functions have often been studied separately, there has been a growing recognition that they interact extensively in everyday life.  In this talk, I'll present some of our recent findings of the dynamic interactive relationship between attention and reward processing in the human brain.

The lecture is part of the Symposium: Studying the neural and cognitive mechanisms of the processing of information as modulated by reward and attention
