Using Neural Measures of Economic Value to Solve the Public Goods Free-Rider Problem (2009)
Krajbich, Ian, Camerer, Colin, Ledyard, John, Rangel, Antonio
Every social group needs to decide when to provide public goods and how to allocate the costs among its members. Ideally, this decision would maximize the group’s net benefits while also ensuring...
Neural computations underlying action-based decision making in the human brain (2009)
Wunderlich, Klaus, Rangel, Antonio, O'Doherty, John P.
Action-based decision making involves choices between different physical actions to obtain rewards. To make such decisions the brain needs to assign a value to each action and then compare them to...
Chib, Vikram S., Rangel, Antonio, Shimojo, Shinsuke, O'Doherty, John P.
To make economic choices between goods, the brain needs to compute representations of their values. A great deal of research has been performed to determine the neural correlates of value...
Self-control in decision-making involves modulation of the vmPFC valuation system (2009)
Hare, Todd A., Camerer, Colin F., Rangel, Antonio
Every day, individuals make dozens of choices between an alternative with higher overall value and a more tempting but ultimately inferior option. Optimal decision-making requires self-control. We...

Bray, Singe, Rangel, Antonio, Shimojo, Shinsuke, Balleine, Bernard, O'Doherty, John P.

Hare, Todd A., O'Doherty, John P., Camerer, Colin F., Schultz, Wolfram, Rangel, Antonio
To make sound economic decisions, the brain needs to compute several different value-related signals. These include goal values that measure the predicted reward that results from the outcome...
