معرفی
Kerstin Preuschoff is an Associate Professor at the University of Geneva affiliated with the Geneva Finance Research Institute. Her interdisciplinary research bridges Neuroeconomics and Neurofinance, focusing on the neural mechanisms of decision-making under risk, integrating neuroscience, financial economics, and psychology.
- Education: PhD in Computation and Neural Systems & Neuroeconomics, California Institute of Technology
- Previous Affiliations: Researcher and Lecturer at University of Zurich and EPF Lausanne
Her research explores how the brain computes subjective value, processes surprise, and balances new vs. old information during learning. She employs fMRI, computational models, and behavioral experiments to investigate risk prediction errors and neural correlates of decision-making.
Key trends in her publications include interdisciplinary work on reinforcement learning, cognitive flexibility, and neuroeconomic theory, with a focus on brain regions like the insula and temporo-parietal junction.
She has contributed to executive courses on Psychology of Finance and Neurofinance, and her academic presentations span conferences like The Brain Conferences and Neurofinance Meetings.
