Dr. Gregory Berns, Distinguished Professor of Neuroeconomics, was recently chosen to be featured in Emory's national ad campaign. Dr. Berns is fascinated by how people make decisions. His research involves mapping brain activity, and by doing so he has discovered the emotional side of “rational” decision making, allowing him to investigate questions such as “Why do we find pleasure in giving?” and “Why are we happy when trying new things?”
