CENTER FOR BEHAVIORAL EXPERIMENTS
WE’RE SCIENTISTS OF THE MIND
In the Center of Behavioral Experiments (CEBEX) we deal with human decision-making. Our research combines findings from economics, psychology, evolutionary biology, and neuroscience. To keep our finger on the pulse of time, we organize an international conference, and we pass our acquired knowledge by lecturing at both Czech and international universities and at our summer school.
EXPERIMENTAL LAB
Cutting Edge Research
CEBEX runs in the center of Prague one of three large-capacity laboratories in the Czech Republic used for research on human decision-making. Seventeen terminals separated by partitions allow us to get data from up to 100 participants a day, thanks to which we’re also involved in larger international research projects.
Come to participate in our research – it usually takes about an hour. You’ll be playing experimental games on our computers, and on average you’ll get 250 CZK for that.
If you want to do your research in our lab (whether with or without our help), contact us. We’re open to various kinds of collaboration.
CONFERENCE
Prague Conference on Behavioral Sciences
Every year we organize the Prague Conference on Behavioral Sciences – an international conference focused on topics related to research on human decision-making. This event is unique by being accessible to both general and academic public.
Within the conference, CEBEX awards Allais Memorial Prize in Behavioral Sciences, which was in 2018 given to the Nobel Prize laureate, Vernon L. Smith.
The next conference will be held on April 5 and 6, 2019, and the keynote speaker will be Professor of Psychology Gerd Gigerenzer (Max Planck Institute), one of the most cited authors in the field of human decision-making.
SUMMER SCHOOL
CEBEX Summer School
We know, therefore we share. Since 2017 we organize CEBEX Summer School – an intensive course focused on human decision-making. Mostly international lecturers center on both the theoretical foundations and practical application of acquired knowledge in the areas of public policy making and management. As one of the few in the world, we also have a separate track examining the evolutionary roots of human decision-making.
We can prove our good work by the fact that during two summer schools we welcomed around 60 students from more than 30 countries.
