Adding social interaction . . . • Feedback • None • Choice history • Individual rewards
Adding social interaction • Feedback • Different games • NEO data
Logistics • Group size • Subject payment • Behavioral cohort • Imaging cohort
Game elements • Crossing points • Optimal reward • Short term vs. long term gains
