What made you start reading this article? Was it a desire to learn about how people make decisions, or was it just a feeling that you could not put into words? And how did you choose what to wear this morning for school? Did you consider different outfits, or did you choose the first item you found in your closet? In the study of decision making, we try to understand and model the brain mechanisms that are involved. In this article, we will explain how your brain makes decisions and share some tricks on how you can become a better decision maker in your daily life. We hope that your...
