Risk-taking bias in human decision-making is encoded via a right–left brain push–pull system
A person's decisions vary even when options stay the same, like when a gambler changes
bets despite constant odds of winning. Internal bias (eg, emotion) contributes to this …

The influences and neural correlates of past and present during gambling in humans
During financial decision-making tasks, humans often make “rational” decisions, where they
maximize expected reward. However, this rationality may compete with a bias that reflects …

Dynamic Cognitive States Explain Individual Variability in Behavior and Modulate with EEG Functional Connectivity During Working Memory
Fluctuations in strategy, attention, or motivation can cause large variability in performance
across task trials. Typically, this variability is treated as noise, and assumed to cancel out …
