Neuroscience for Engineers: What You Should Know About Decision Making
This presentation will help you dramatically improve your skills in decision making. Cutting-edge research in cognitive neuroscience and behavioral economics shows that most disasters are preventable, and stem from one or more poor decisions. Studies show that we all suffer from unconscious dangerous judgment errors called cognitive biases. These mental blindspots cause us to make bad decisions, especially in the most important and charged contexts. Fortunately, recent decision science has shown how simple yet effective decision-making strategies can enable you to protect yourself and those on your team from cognitive biases, and to consequently make better decisions by avoiding these mental blindspots. You will learn how best practices combined with groundbreaking research in decision science can provide you with the most critical skills that you need to help yourself and those you lead make the best decisions.
