Information System and the Brain: An Introduction to NeuroIS

Description

1. Introduction In recent years, there has been an explosion in the abilities of neuroscience to study the anatomy and functionality of the brain using neuroimaging methods. The field of cogni- tive neuroscience examines observable brain activities to identify the brain areas that underlie human functions and processes. Neuroimaging methods such as functional mag- netic resonance imaging (fMRI) can measure brain activa- tion. Moreover, neurophysiological methods such as gal- vanic skin response (GSR) can also capture biological states. Both neuroscience and neurophysiological methods have resulted in a better understanding of how people make economic and social decisions, deal with stress, risk, uncer- tainty, and ambiguity, respond to rewards and form utility, trust and distrust, cooperate or compete with others, predict others’ behaviors, and search for and process information.
