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...
A specific role for posterior dorsolateral striatum in human habit learning (2009)
Tricomi, Elizabeth, Balleine, Bernard W., O'Doherty, John P.
Habits are characterized by an insensitivity to their consequences and, as such, can be distinguished from goal-directed actions. The neural basis of the development of demonstrably...
Gläscher, Jan, Hampton, Alan N., O'Doherty, John P.
Considerable evidence has emerged to implicate ventromedial prefrontal cortex in encoding expectations of future reward during value-based decision making. However, the nature of the learned...

A neural basis for the effect of candidate appearance on election outcomes (2008)
Spezio, Michael L., Rangel, Antonio, Alvarez, R. Michael, O'Doherty, John P., Mattes, Kyle, Todorov, Alexander, ...
Election outcomes correlate with judgments based on a candidate’s visual appearance, suggesting that the attributions viewers make based on appearance, so-called thin-slice judgments, influence...
Neuronal Distortions of Reward Probability without Choice (2008)
Tobler, Phillippe N., Christopoulos, George I., O'Doherty, John P., Dolan, Raymond J., Schultz, Wolfram
Reward probability crucially determines the value of outcomes. A basic phenomenon, defying explanation by traditional decision theories, is that people often overweigh small and underweigh large...
The Neural Mechanisms Underlying the Influence of Pavlovian Cues on Human Decision Making (2008)
Bray, Singe, Rangel, Antonio, Shimojo, Shinsuke, Balleine, Bernard, O'Doherty, John P.
In outcome-specific transfer, pavlovian cues that are predictive of specific outcomes bias action choice toward actions associated with those outcomes. This transfer occurs despite no explicit...
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...
The Neural Mechanisms Underlying the Influence of Pavlovian Cues on Human Decision Making (2008)
Bray, Signe, Rangel, Antonio, Shimojo, Shinsuke, Balleine, Bernard, O'Doherty, John P.

Neural correlates of mentalizing-related computations during strategic interactions in humans (2008)
Hampton, Alan N., Bossaerts, Peter, O'Doherty, John P.
Competing successfully against an intelligent adversary requires the ability to mentalize an opponent's state of mind to anticipate his/her future behavior. Although much is known about what brain...
O'Doherty, John P., Bossaerts, Peter
This article considers the contribution of functional neuroimaging toward understanding the computational underpinnings of human decision making. We outline the main processes likely underlying the...
Marketing actions can modulate neural representations of experienced pleasantness (2008)
Plassman, Hilke, O'Doherty, John P., Shiv, Baba, Rangel, Antonio
Despite the importance and pervasiveness of marketing, almost nothing is known about the neural mechanisms through which it affects decisions made by individuals. We propose that marketing actions,...
Temporal isolation of neural processes underlying face preference decisions (2007)
Kim, Hackjin, Adolphs, Ralph, O'Doherty, John P., Shimojo, Shinsuke
Decisions about whether we like someone are often made so rapidly from first impressions that it is difficult to examine the engagement of neural structures at specific points in time. Here, we used...
Decoding the neural substrates of reward-related decision making with functional MRI (2007)
Hampton, Alan N., O'Doherty, John P.
Although previous studies have implicated a diverse set of brain regions in reward-related decision making, it is not yet known which of these regions contain information that directly reflects a...
Kim, Hackjin, Shimojo, Shinsuke, O'Doherty, John P.
Avoidance learning poses a challenge for reinforcement-based theories of instrumental conditioning, because once an aversive outcome is successfully avoided an individual may no longer experience...
Hackjin Kim, Shinsuke Shimojo, John P. O'Doherty
Functional imaging suggests a similar role for the human medial orbitofrontal cortex in processing the receipt of a reward and the successful avoidance of an aversive outcome.

Reward Value Coding Distinct From Risk Attitude-Related Uncertainty Coding in Human Reward Systems
Tobler, Philippe N., O'Doherty, John P., Dolan, Raymond J., Schultz, Wolfram
When deciding between different options, individuals are guided by the expected (mean) value of the different outcomes and by the associated degrees of uncertainty. We used functional magnetic...
Risk-dependent reward value signal in human prefrontal cortex
Tobler, Philippe N., Christopoulos, George I., O'Doherty, John P., Dolan, Raymond J., Schultz, Wolfram
When making choices under uncertainty, people usually consider both the expected value and risk of each option, and choose the one with the higher utility. Expected value increases the expected...
