Economic decision-making behavior in the interactive games using brain imaging technology: A short review

Abstract

Decision-making is an important part of human behavior. With the progress of brain imaging technology in human behavior, a new field called neuroeconomics has emerged recently and attracted wide attention. A large number of studies have used brain imaging technology to study human decision-making behavior. This review emphasized findings obtained in experiments. In this paper, an overview of three popular brain imaging techniques was first provided. Then, this article presents and integrates several typical behavioral and neural experimental studies to further illustrate that the use of brain imaging technology can enhance our understanding of human decision-making behavior. Finally, this paper discusses the challenges at present and puts forward the prospects in neuroeconomics.
