DESCRIPTION:Adam Kepecs\, Ph.D. \n\nProfessor\n\nCold Spring Harbor Laborat
 ory\, Cold Spring Harbor\, NY\n\nEvery decision we make is accompanied by 
 a sense of confidence about the likely outcome. An accurate sense of confi
 dence confer benefits for a broad range behavior\, such as investing more 
 when a gain is more likely. Conversely\, the pathological misevaluation of
  confidence contributes to a wide range of neuropsychiatric conditions\, i
 ncluding anxiety\, obsessive-compulsive disorder\, and addiction. I will d
 escribe a computational approach to link human and rodent behavior that en
 abled us to study the neural basis of confidence in rats. Applying similar
  computational behavioral phenotyping\, I will present initial attempts to
  link variations in human confidence reports to selfreported psychopatholo
 gy. Finally\, I will discuss how a computational approach to behavior can 
 serve as a bridge between animal models to study the neural circuitry of m
 aladaptive behavior and psychopathology in humans.\n\n1. Sanders JI\, Hang
