management/marketing. Topics may include (but are not restricted to):
• Application of concepts and methods from neuroscience and/or psychology in solving economic and
management/marketing problems (e.g., consumer decision-making, behavioral finance, organizational science,
management, and decision science)
• Analysis of interpersonal behavior (e.g., relationships between customer-supplier, supervisor-subordinate,
and/or investor-firm) with the means of neuroscience and/or psychology
• Discussion of ethical and legal issues at the interface of psychology, neuroscience, and business and
economics research
• Evaluation of the state of the field of research in neuroeconomics/decision neuroscience/consumer
neuroscience
• Presentation of state-of-the-art techniques for investigating neuroeconomic problems (e.g., fMRI, DTI,
EEG/ERP, SCR)
Both empirical and conceptual manuscripts are welcome. The conference language will be English.
