Episode notes
Analysis Paralysis and Loss Aversion
- Analysis paralysis stems from our brain miscalculating future outcomes, causing inaction.
- This miscalculation is due to loss aversion, an overestimation of potential negative consequences.
Neuroeconomics and Loss Aversion
- Neuroeconomics combines psychology, neuroscience, and economics to study decision-making.
- Loss aversion, a key finding, explains how our brains miscalculate potential losses, leading to analysis paralysis.
Brain Circuitry of Loss Aversion
- The brain's ventral tegmental area (VTA) processes potential rewards, while the amygdala processes fear and predicts losses.
- These responses combine in the striatum, influencing our decisions and potentially leading to paralysis when the amygdala overestimates losses.
