Two events this week saw a keen audience assemble to discuss and hear the latest facts and research from the world of finance. First came the Swiss Finance Industry Seminar by Swiss National Bank (SNB) Board Member Thomas Jordan. Professor Jordan addressed a capacity audience of more than 220 people on Tuesday morning (photo) to talk about the SNB Transaction.
And yesterday FINRISK research project leaders gave an all day presentation on the current state of their research. I'll be posting on some of those presentations in the coming days, including an excellent presentation on neurofinance by Kerstin Preuschoff. Dr Preuschoff presented some very compelling evidence that the human brain encodes important financial concepts, including expected reward, in a systematic and predictable fashion.
