Decision-Making in Emotional Contexts

Emotions significantly influence decision-making, shaping how individuals perceive and respond to their environment. While there is consensus among emotion theorists that emotions and actions are interconnected, the precise nature of this relationship remains a subject of debate (Moors et al., 2017; Ledoux and Daw 2018). By integrating behavioural, physiological (e.g., skin conductance, cardiac activity), and possibly neural (EEG) measures, our project seeks to uncover the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying the influence of emotional displays on decision-making (see for example Sequestro et al. 2024).
