Neuroeconomics seminar on November 30

9:00 - 10:00
SpeakerAnna Shepelenko 

Title: Evaluation of the effectiveness of social advertising

Topic: Project outline 

Abstract:
This is a presentation of the master’s thesis research plan. Some approaches will be presented in a field of study of the perception of social advertising, also some methods will be proposed for determining the effectiveness of the influence of positive and negative emotions on donations. 

10:00 - 11:00
SpeakerValeriya Karpova

Title: Neurobiological study of social stigma

Topic:  Project discussion

Abstract:
Economic offences can release from criminal liability in case of the damages’ reparation and the settlement of monetary compensation in fivefold revenue earned. In the experiment, participants will face the alternative between monetary compensation for the break of criminal norms and analogue of social stigma. To examine the influence of social and moral incentives on choice we are going to use modified trust game and Becker-DeGroot-Marschak method to evaluate subjects’ Willingness to pay. We plan to check Whether the activity of valuation regions (Posterior Cingulate Gyrus, Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex, Precuneus, Ventral Striatum) correlate with the willingness to pay the bribe/back to the investor under the risk of social stigma using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)


Neuroeconomics seminar on November 23

9:00 - 11:00
Speaker
: Mario Martinez-Saito

Title: Processing of fMRI data 

Topic: Masterclass

Abstract:
The goal of this talk is to explain the theory behind fMRI data preprocessing and basic analysis along the processing pipeline used in SPM, which is a MATLAB toolbox. The format will be flexible, focusing mainly on your needs rather than following a specific index of contents.    



Neuroeconomics seminar on November 16

9:00 - 11:00
Speaker: Alexis Belianin (with Heike Hennig-Schmidt, Gregory Chernov and others)

Title:  Beliefs and behaviour in social dilemma games: results from the long-distance real-time experiments in Moscow, Tomsk, and Samara

Topic: Research presentation

Abstract:
We analyze data from Ultimatum game experiments based on real online interactions between people in different parts of Russia – here they come from Moscow, Samara and Tomsk. In particular we are interested in whether subjects behave differently depending on whether they interact with subjects in their own region or  from other regions in Russia. Why to expect behavioral differences? People acquire ideas, beliefs and preferences from observation and interaction with other members of their own social group using adaptive mechanisms like conformist transmission. Learning from peers can lead to stable social norms within their regions because people socially learn what is undesirable or even gets punished. However, if norms differ between regions this may lead to unexpected actions and counteractions which in addition may hamper cooperation. We also  elicited beliefs to see whether expectations and actual behavior coincides or differs. Our first results show that there are some noteworthy differences between subjects interacting within their own and with the foreign regions for both actual behavior and expectation.
