The course aims at understanding how humans make voluntary decisions and adaptively act in the environment. The course notably addresses the neural bases of central executive functions (judgment & decision-making) in humans. These functions associated with the frontal lobes form the capacity to decide not only in response to external events but also in relation with intentions and choices stemming from motives, preferences and beliefs, which in turn derive from overt behaviour and covert reasoning. The course will address this issue from the viewpoint of cognitive and computational neurosciences and to a lesser extent, from modern philosophy.    

Class 1: Executive functions: Introduction to basic concepts and methods (Etienne Koechlin)

Class 2: Neuropsychology of frontal lobe function (Richard Levy)

Class 3: Categorisation and fronto-parietal interactions (Valentin Wyart)

Class 4: Cognitive control and lateral prefrontal function (Etienne Koechlin)

Class 5: Neurophysiology of the prefrontal cortex (Emmanuel Procyk)

Class 6: Cognitive control and frontopolar function (Etienne Koechlin)

Class 7: Reinforcement learning and frontal-basal ganglia loops (Stefano Palminteri)

Class 8: Motivational control and dorsomedial prefrontal function (Etienne Koechlin)

Class 9: Affective control and orbitofrontal function (Philippe Domenech)

Classes 10 & 11: Computational models of prefrontal executive functions (Etienne Koechlin)

Class 12: Control and Agency (Valerian Chambon)

Class 13: Philosophy of action (Elisabeth Pacherie)

Class 14: Key open issues for future research (Etienne Koechlin)
