WHARTON NEUROSCIENCE INITIATIVE
Neuroscience has begun to uncover some of the fundamental mechanisms underlying decision making, innovation and insight, empathy and human connection, social awareness and the common good, how people use information to guide learning and exploration, and the experience and impact of online versus live interaction and pedagogy. New developments in neuroscience, as well as biometrics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and the human microbiome, offer the opportunity for enhanced precision not only in marketing and finance, but also in the identification of talent, enhancement of performance, and advancing human potential.
The Wharton Neuroscience Initiative aims to translate these new areas of exploration to improve business, drive new discoveries and applications, and enhance the education of future leaders at the nexus of business and brain science.
Professor Michael Platt is the Faculty Director.
