Decision-Making: When to Follow Your Heart & Trust Your Guts or Think with Your Head

Weekday Course

ORGANIZERS: Udunna Anazodo, Nivedita Agarwal

Monday, 09 May 2022

ICC Capital Suite 7 & 12

09:15 - 11:15

Moderators:
When the Heart Rules the Mind in Decision-Making: Audrey Fan
Emerging Models & Imaging Tools for Mapping Brain-Body Connections: Rik Moonen

Skill Level: Basic to Advanced

Session Number: M-02

Session Number: M-02

Overview
This educational session will focus on the biology of decision-making and introduce the idea that decision-making involves cognition, emotion, and intuition--brain processes highly influenced by physiological changes in the heart and gut. Scientific research into ways to enhance decision-making skills and make better-informed decisions will be discussed.

Target Audience
Clinicians, cardiologists, radiologists, and scientists interested in heart-brain connection and the science of decision-making.

Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Explain the role of the brain in autonomic control of the cardiovascular system and how this could affect decision-making;
- Explain the basis of neuromarketing and how imaging plays a central role in the field of neuromarketing and neuroeconomics;
- Describe how physiological changes in the body, especially the heart, can influence decision-making; and
- List strategies to hack your brain and transform it into making better informed decisions.
