DESCRIPTION:Colin Camerer\, Robert Kirby Professor of Behavioral Economics
 \; Director\, T&C Chen Center for Social and Decision Neuroscience\, Divis
 ion of the Humanities and Social Sciences\nResearch in the field of neuroe
 conomics finds the brain mechanisms that underlie computation during econo
 mic decisions. For example\, the brain differentiates losses from gains\, 
 and really dislikes losing. In his lecture\, Camerer will discuss how aver
 sion to loss and our emotional response to such events can explain aspects
  of stock trading\, sports\, and politics\, as well as how measurements of
  brain activity can improve decisions and cooperative outcomes.\nThis lect
 ure will be presented in a hybrid format\, allowing for both virtual viewe
 rs and in-person attendees. No advance registration is required for either
  format but you may sign up for event reminders here.\nHow to watch online
 The lecture can be viewed via live stream on caltech.edu/watson or on Calt

 t the SeriesThe 2022–2023 season marks the centennial of The Earnest C. 
 Watson Lecture Series\, which has brought Caltech&#x27\;s most innovative 
 scientific research to the public since the Friday Evening Demonstrations

 a professor of physics at Caltech from 1919 until 1959. The Watson Lecture
 s are geared toward a general audience\, as part of the Institute&#x27\;s
