Lecturer Itiel Dror, PhD Harvard, Senior Cognitive Neuroscience Researcher, University College London
Itiel Dror is a cognitive neuroscientist who is interested in the cognitive architecture that underpins expert decision making. Dror's research, published in over 130 research articles (including in Science and Nature), demonstrates how contextual information can influence judgments and decision making of experts. He has worked in a variety of domains, from policing and aviation, to medical experts and bankers, showing that even hard working and competent experts can make unintentional errors in evaluating data. Dr. Dror has worked with many agencies in various countries to minimize error and enhance decision making. More information available in the address www.cci-hq.com.
