THE INVESTOR’S DECISION EDGE

I am grateful to the many scholars, researchers, and practitioners whose published work forms the intellectual backbone of this book. The fields of behavioral finance, cognitive neuroscience, and artificial intelligence have each contributed a distinct and essential thread to the argument developed in these pages, and this work would not exist without the cumulative efforts of those who built those fields. I owe particular thanks to colleagues and peers who engaged with earlier drafts of this material and offered feedback that improved both the clarity and the rigour of the final text. Their willingness to challenge weak arguments and point toward stronger evidence made this a better book than it would otherwise have been. I am also indebted to the investors, students, and practitioners whose questions and experiences over the years gave this work its practical grounding. Theory untested against real decisions remains only theory, and their engagement kept this book anchored in the realities of investment practice. Finally, I thank my family for their patience and steady support throughout the long process of research and writing. Their encouragement, offered without condition, made the completion of this work possible.
