Journal Article
Eimontaite, I., Schindler, I., De Marco, M., Duzzi, D., Venneri, A., & Goel, V. (2019). Left amygdala and putamen activation modulate emotion driven decisions in the iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma game. Frontiers in Neuroscience, 13(JUL), Article 741. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2019.00741

Although economic decision-making is commonly characterized as a purely rational phenomenon, it is clear that real-world decision-making is influenced by emotions. Yet, relatively little is known about the neural correlates of this process. To explor...

Differential roles of polar orbital prefrontal cortex and parietal lobes in logical reasoning with neutral and negative emotional content (2018)

© 2018 The Authors To answer the question of how brain pathology affects reasoning about negative emotional content, we administered a disjunctive logical reasoning task involving arguments with neutral content (e.g. Either there are tigers or women...

Differential modulation of performance in insight and divergent thinking tasks with tDCS (2015)
Journal Article
Eimontaite, I., Goel, V., Schindler, I., & Goel, A. (2015). Differential modulation of performance in insight and divergent thinking tasks with tDCS. Journal of Problem Solving, 8(1), 23-35. https://doi.org/10.7771/1932-6246.1172

While both insight and divergent thinking tasks are used to study creativity, there are reasons to believe that the two may call upon very different mechanisms. To explore this hypothesis, we administered a verbal insight task (riddles) and a diverge... Read More about Differential modulation of performance in insight and divergent thinking tasks with tDCS.

The effect of partner-directed emotion in social exchange decision-making (2013)
Journal Article
Eimontaite, I., Nicolle, A., Schindler, I., & Goel, V. (2013). The effect of partner-directed emotion in social exchange decision-making. Frontiers in Psychology, 4(JUL), Article UNSP 469. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00469

Despite the prevalence of studies examining economic decision-making as a purely rational phenomenon, common sense suggests that emotions affect our decision-making particularly in a social context. To explore the influence of emotions on economic de... Read More about The effect of partner-directed emotion in social exchange decision-making.
