This project aims to ask and answer fundamental questions about how we safely make risky decisions to guide our behaviour. It combines theoretically driven approaches from experimental psychology with state-of-the-art technology for mapping and manipulating brain function. The project expects to show, with unprecedented behavioural, brain cell type, and circuit precision, how we safely make choices, how these choices are shaped by experience, and how controlling these cells and circuits controls choice. This outcome should provide significant benefits including a new knowledge base bridging behavioural, cognitive, and neural sciences to advance theories of behaviour and laying a new basic science platform to understand impulsive behaviours.

该项目旨在询问和回答有关我们如何安全地做出风险决定以指导我们行为的基本问题。它结合了理论上驱动的方法，从实验心理学和最先进的技术进行映射和操纵大脑功能。该项目希望以前所未有的行为，脑细胞类型和电路精度显示，我们如何安全地做出选择，如何通过经验来塑造这些选择以及如何控制这些细胞和电路控制选择。该结果应提供重大的好处，包括新的知识基础桥接行为，认知和神经科学，以推动行为理论，并为了解冲动行为的新基础科学平台。
