Hu et al., 2014: Why Individuals Commit Information Security Violations: Neural Correlates of Decision Processes and Self-Control

Topic:

In this study, we tested neural correlates between selfcontrol and decision making in the context of information security using electroencephalography (EEG) and event related potentials (ERPs). Our results show that while both left and right hemispheres of the brain are involved in decision making, the subjects with low self-control evoked lower level of neural activities in the right hemisphere and made riskier decisions than the subjects with high self-control.

EEG/ERP with survey, 21 students
