COGS 180Decision-Making

4 units · COGS · UC San Diego

This interdisciplinary course aims to unravel the complexities behind human decision-making by integrating insights from psychology, economics, neuroscience, psychiatry, design, and machine learning. We will explore everything from the cognitive biases and heuristics that shape our everyday decisions, to how decision-making is impaired in various psychiatric disorders. We will also discuss why it’s so hard to make rational decisions, and how we can use AI to improve our decision-making.
