Bibliography
Currently, only a few papers reflect the philosophy exposed in our manifesto. An incomplete list can be found below (we welcome suggestions of related papers that we may not be aware of). Note that some of these papers are closely based on evidence from neuroscience while others are only losely inspired by it.

Some of the earliest research on the area and which has served as inspiration for recent research includes:

Several essays discuss the relevance of (empirical and theoretical) neuroeconomics for decision-making in general and for economics in particular. Here is a representative sample from both sides of the spectrum.
