Descripción del proyecto

Unos investigadores descifran el código de la confianza

La confianza determina nuestras decisiones en todos los ámbitos de la vida, incluidos el universitario, el científico y el industrial. Sin embargo, a pesar de los importantes avances de la investigación, los entresijos de la confianza en la decisión siguen siendo difíciles de entender, lo que dificulta su aplicación en la vida real. El equipo del proyecto CODE, que cuenta con el apoyo de las Acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, es una iniciativa internacional e interdisciplinaria en la que se aborda esta laguna crítica. Al formar a estudiantes de doctorado para que se conviertan en los futuros expertos en confianza en la toma de decisiones, en CODE se pretende descompartimentar el ámbito universitario y científico, la industria y la clínica. En este esfuerzo de colaboración se prometen ideas transformadoras que allanarán el camino a aplicaciones innovadoras en educación, sanidad y tecnología.

Objetivo

Virtually every decision people make comes with a sense of confidence – a subjective estimate of decision quality. The human capacity for confidence has tremendous social, clinical, and industrial impact. For example, children who can correctly judge their own level of confidence perform better academically. In the elderly, confidence declines faster than other cognitive functions. Clinically, confidence plays a key role in our understanding of various brain-related disorders, including dementia, anxiety, addiction, and depression. In industry, confidence helps people trust algorithms and automated systems, and creates more natural interactions with smartphones and self-driving cars. While the past decade has seen major advances in our scientific understanding of decision confidence, its mechanisms remain poorly understood. This lack of understanding significantly hampers the translation to real-world applications, such as educational programmes and clinical interventions. A major challenge for the immediate future is to fill this gap, by expanding fundamental knowledge on decision confidence and explicitly bridging to technologies, interventions, and clinical practice. CODE aims to address this need. We are an international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral training network that spans fundamental and applied confidence-based research, and bridges between academia, industry, education, and the clinic. By reaching across domains that usually work in silos, CODE will provide critical new insights into decision confidence, and pave the way for important future confidence-based applications. We will train doctoral students to become the interdisciplinary decision confidence experts of the future, who can flexibly apply their knowledge and skills in a wide variety of domains and sectors, and are exceptionally well prepared for successful careers in either academia or industry.
