- 20 July 2010 The Decision Neuroscience Community has lost one of its greatest supporters this week: With great sadness we would like to announce that Prof. Flemming Hansen unexpectedly passed away. He built the first Decision Neuroscience Lab in Denmark in the Marketing Department of the Copenhagen Business School. His contributions for the field are not countable and he was a great inspiration for our community. Flemming was a generous, goodhearted man who will be never be forgotten. "Life is Eternal, and love is Immortal and death is only a horizon; Nothing save the limit of our Sight." - R. W. Raymond
