This conference explores the frontier between behavioral finance and neuroscience to understand how investors perceive and respond to market volatility. Moving beyond the well-established principle of loss aversion, it incorporates neuroeconomic findings on cognitive processing, emotional regulation, and neural mechanisms that govern financial decision-making under uncertainty. The discussions examine how risk is encoded in the brain, how market stress alters perception, and how behavioral biases manifest in volatile trading environments. The conference aims to bring together economists, neuroscientists, traders, and policymakers to develop a unified understanding of risk, emotion, and decision architecture in uncertain markets.
