Neuroeconomics is an interdisciplinary field that seeks to explain human decision-making, the ability to process multiple alternatives and to follow through on a plan of action. It studies how economic behavior can shape our understanding of the brain, and how neuroscientific discoveries can guide models of economics. [1]

Jan 15, 2010 · What is neuroeconomics? The new field of neuroeconomics looks at how economic decision-making actually happens inside the brain. Jonathan Cohen, co-director of the Princeton Neuroscience Institute at Princeton University, describes insights that are emerging from the collaborative work of neuroscientists, psychologists, and economists.

Jun 28, 2021 · Neuroeconomics breaks this circularity by establishing that values are computed in the brain. By showing correspondence between a neural signal and a behavioral measure of value, that signal in the brain provides an independent measure of value, in principle dissociable from choices.

It is “the application of neuroscientific methods to analyse and understand economically relevant behaviour” ( 1 ). such as evaluating decisions, categorising risks and rewards, and interactions among economic agents. Neuroeconomics research draws on the convergence of three major trends.
Economics, psychology, and neuroscience are converging today into a single, unified discipline with the ultimate aim of providing a single, general theory of human behavior. This is the emerging field of neuroeconomics in which consilience, the accordance of two or more inductions drawn from different groups of phenomena, seems to be operating.
