Overview

Todd A. Hare is affiliated with the University of Zurich in Switzerland. Their research primarily spans neuroscience, with a significant focus on cognitive neuroscience. Todd's work crosses multiple subfields including general decision sciences, applied psychology, experimental and cognitive psychology, as well as economics and econometrics.

The topics that Todd explores encompass neural and behavioral psychology studies, decision-making and behavioral economics, neural dynamics and brain function, behavioral health and interventions, functional brain connectivity studies, cognitive abilities and testing, and memory and neural mechanisms.

Todd A. Hare's recent publications in the field cover various aspects of decision-making and brain function. Notable papers include:

  • Humans primarily use model-based inference in the two-stage task, 2020, Nature Human Behaviour
  • Dissociable mechanisms govern when and how strongly reward attributes affect decisions, 2020, Nature Human Behaviour
  • Genetic underpinnings of risky behaviour relate to altered neuroanatomy, 2021, Nature Human Behaviour
  • Sensory perception relies on fitness-maximizing codes, 2023, Nature Human Behaviour
  • Rethinking model-based and model-free influences on mental effort and striatal prediction errors, 2023, Nature Human Behaviour

The frequent co-authors collaborating with Todd include Philippe N. Tobler, Rafael Polanía, Micah Edelson, Carolina Feher da Silva, and Anjali Raja Beharelle.

Todd's research contributions have appeared predominantly in a set of key venues. These include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) with seven publications, Nature Human Behaviour with five, Scientific Reports with two, Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience with two, and Cognitive Affective & Behavioral Neuroscience with two.
