Sebastian Speer

Sebastian Speer is a Visiting Fellow at the Department of Marketing Management within Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University Rotterdam. His research program investigates neural mechanisms of consumer decision-making using advanced neuroimaging techniques.

Research interests center on perceptual decision neuroscience, with focus areas including:

• Neural coding of reward processing and facial expressions
• MVPA (multi-voxel pattern analysis) for decoding decision pathways
• Stress and cognitive control impacts on ethical behavior
• Individual differences in brain connectivity patterns
• Applications to consumer environments like retail decision-making

His 15+ publications demonstrate consistent focus on decision neuroscience, with recent work examining: neural signatures of reward, stress-dishonesty interactions, resting-state brain variability, and neurocognitive foundations of deception. Publications frequently appear in high-impact journals including NeuroImage and Scientific Reports.

No awards or student mentorship information is documented in available sources.

Research collaborations include teams at Erasmus University Rotterdam employing fMRI and behavioral paradigms. Public engagement includes media coverage on financial decision-making and lie detection neurotechnology.
