How We Decide: Impulse Buys & Emotional Ties
November 25, 2014 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Join The Franklin Institute and leading experts from the Greater Philadelphia area for a series of six conversations neuroscience and society. These informative and engaging conversations will help you understand how the adolescent brain develops, how stress and our emotions influence decision-making, how addiction affects the brain, and more.
We make decisions every day, from choosing what to wear to larger, life-changing decisions like deciding where to live. In a world filled with choices, how do we decide? How do stress and our emotions influence decision-making? University of Pennsylvania scientists studying psychology, economics, and neuroscience will help us learn how our brains make choices and how advertisers take advantage of science to influence our purchasing decisions.
