Nadège Bault

Welcome! You will find here some information about me and my research activities.

I am currently working as a postdoctoral research fellow at Cimec in Trento, Italy, in collaboration with the Amsterdam Brain and Cognition Centre and the Center for Research in Experimental Economics and Political Decision-Making.

My research interests include:

• the neural bases of social decision making
• the formation of social tie during economics interaction
• the influence of reward-based emotions on decision processes
  • in a non social/private context: emotions based on counterfactual reasoning like regret
  • in social contexts: emotions based on social comparison, like envy and gloating
• social hierarchy and competitive behaviors

Some media coverage about my research in Scientific American:
"Even Better than a Personal Best" by Karen A. Frenkel

I recently co-edited a collective book (in french) about the notion of representation in cognitive science
