Bad moves: how decision-making goes wrong - a podcast by Cambridge University

Professor Sahakian discusses the process of normal decision-making–our strategies, biases that affect us and influential factors. She will describe the abnormal patterns found in patients with conditions such as severe depression, Alzheimer’s and accidental brain damage. Examining how the brain can be manipulated to improve cognitive function in these patients, she will consider the use and the ethical questions of‘smart drugs’.
