NEUROECONOMICS
Neuroeconomics has the purpose to ground economic models in the biological
substrate of the brain for decision-making. We used the measure of the entropy
of the correlation of EEG activity to study decision making in moral judgment,
and economic modeling to formalize experimental results. The model involves
both an emotional component and a cognitive factor in the estimation of the
expected utility of conflicting dilemma propositions. This conflict is the
major component determining the decision-making probability. The agreement
between the experimental and the theoretical response time distribution seems
to validate the proposed model.
