| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To verify whether “happiness” can be described in a biological measurements, I conducted experiments to measure the economic utility, social and biological attribute data, and neural activities during economics decision-making both in non-social/social situations. I found that parietal cortex and the striatum is involved in subjective or non-social utility, also that insular cortex and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is involved in social preference and its activities varies depending on personal attributes such as gender. In order to test the detailed functions of these brain areas, I conducted preliminary neurofeedback experiments with fMRI, suggest the activities of the striatum involving subjective utility might change some decision-making measurements.
