Biography

Professor Wolfram Schultz is a prominent neuroscientist known for his extensive research on neurophysiology and decision-making processes associated with rewards. His work primarily focuses on identifying brain signals related to reward and economic decisions, employing a combination of behavioral, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging methods such as fMRI. He investigates the neuronal mechanisms that drive essential theoretical constructs of reward-seeking behavior, including learning, decision-making, reward prediction error, and value assessments of choices. His research has significantly advanced our understanding of brain structures involved in these processes, including dopamine neurons within the striatum and frontal cortex, as well as the amygdala. Over the years, Professor Schultz has collaborated with various researchers and has been involved in numerous seminars and lectures worldwide, showcasing his contribution to the field of neuroscience. He has received several prestigious awards for his scientific achievements.
