#Decision-Making

Recent research from the Decision and Memory group at Universitat Jaume I in Castelló, led by Raphael Kaplan, unveils intriguing insights into how our brains navigate decision-making in both spatial and abstract environments. This collaborative study, involving researchers from Spain, Italy, and the United States, was published in two prominent scientific journals, Nature Communications and PLOS Biology, showcasing the nuanced roles of the hippocampal and medial prefrontal cortex in processing environmental boundaries and social contexts.

In a groundbreaking study published in Neuroscience of Consciousness, researchers have unveiled a fascinating psychological dynamic affecting decision-making confidence when individuals believe they’re collaborating with machines. This revelation highlights that the mere perception of working alongside artificial intelligence can undermine human confidence, even when human judgment is accurate. Such insights compel us to reconsider how human-machine interactions might be designed, especially as automation increasingly infiltrates our daily lives and workplaces.
