Join Dr. Chandra Sripada, Theophile Raphael Research Professor and Professor of Psychiatry and Philosophy at the University of Michigan, for a seminar exploring the neuroscience of executive functions—the brain’s abilities to think, reason, plan, and regulate behavior. Drawing on recent advances in computational cognitive science and neuroscience, Dr. Sripada will examine how new understandings of these mechanisms shed light on both healthy and disordered cognition. He will also discuss emerging opportunities for applying these insights to operations engineering, highlighting how knowledge of executive function can inform models of decision-making, planning, and performance in complex systems.
