This neuroscience research investigates how the human brain constructs and adapts goals. Using fMRI and a dynamic decision-making game, the study identifies neural activity in the prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex associated with goal selection, valuation, and adaptation. The findings may help develop AI systems better aligned with human goals.

This research explores procrastination by examining how people relate to their future selves. Using guided mental imagery exercises, it aims to strengthen emotional connection with the future self.
