Dr. Tamer Oraby presented an invited talk, “Modeling Human Decisions in Disease Control: A Behavioral-Game Theory Approach”, to the Center for Nonlinear Dynamics in the Department of Physics at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Oraby discussed the development of disease–behavior models that couple SIR dynamics of childhood infectious diseases with behavioral game theory, evolving from classical imitation dynamics of rational agents to boundedly rational agents with noisy utilities. He explained how those models incorporate prospect-theoretic utilities and reinforcement–learning–inspired elements to form a new disease–behavior–cognition (DBC) framework with novel equilibria and interesting stability conditions.
