In NEUROBIOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF PERCEPTION AND DECISIONS UNDER UNCERTAINTY, Peter Bossaerts will cover the neurobiological mechanisms behind
perception and learning of average rewards and risk. Particular
attention will be paid to separation of encoding of rewards and risks
and to learning of risks. Conclusions for economics, psychology and
neuroscience will be drawn. He will also deal with

associated with playing strategic games and we have found what it means
mathematically. It turns out to be relevant also for predicting price
changes in financial markets with insiders.
