How the brain makes decisions

Reply Subscribe
Decision-making comes in two major into two types: Markovian and non-Markovian, named after the mathematician Andrey Markov (1856-1922). Simply put, in Markovian decision-making, the next decision step depends entirely on the current state of affairs. For example, when playing backgammon, the next move depends only on the current layout of the board, and not on how it got to be like that. This relatively straightforward process has been extensively modeled in computers and machines.

It is no exaggeration to say that the human brain is an impressive organ. Our brain is the most complex machine that ever existed. But If the human brain is so great, what accounts for all of the dumb things we do?
