We are delighted that our CeDEx colleague, Benedikt Herrmann, will be visiting Nottingham again to carry out PhD training.
Human economic decision making happens within the physiological context of the human body. Different tools have been developed to measure the physiology of human decision making. A very simple and relatively effective tool is the measurement of skin conductance reaction (SCR) during economic decision making. A new tool has been developed by Ruslan Kabalin to enable simultaneous recoding of economic decision making and the measurement of SCR.
Benedikt says; "Within this short course, we want to introduce participants to the physiological background of SCRs, to the new device to measure it during economic lab experiments and how to process the recorded data".
The course will start on Monday 7 December at 1pm in A41 Clive Granger. We want to run at least two test experiments where participants shall be trained to use the SCR measurement equipment. On Tuesday 8 December we will train how to process data from 10.00 to 12.00 in the computer room in Sir Clive Granger Building (room B29).
