Abstract
Economic theories, particularly game theory, have been used widely to predict the behavior of markets and corporations. In a new twist, as [Camerer][1] explains in his Perspective, neuroscience is now informing game theory. Functional magnetic resonance imaging reveals the regions of the brain that "light up" during the cognitive and emotional events that accompany economic decision-making ([ Sanfey et al .][2]).
