What role does reward play in real-world human vision? Reward coding in the midbrain is
thought to cause the rapid prioritization of reward-associated visual stimuli. However …

Objects associated with reward draw attention and evoke enhanced activity in visual cortex.
What is the underlying mechanism? One possibility is that reward9s impact on vision is …

Visual processing is influenced by stimulus-driven and goal-driven factors. Recent interest
has centred on understanding how reward might provide additional contributions to visual …

We investigated how the brain integrates motivational and attentional signals by using a
neuroimaging paradigm that provided separate estimates for transient cue-and target …

Theories of reinforcement learning and approach behavior suggest that reward can increase
the perceptual salience of environmental stimuli, ensuring that potential predictors of …

The potential for neuronal representations of external stimuli to be modified by previous
experience is critical for efficient sensory processing and improved behavioral outcomes. To …

Reward-related mesolimbic dopamine steers animal behavior, creating automatic approach
toward reward-associated objects and avoidance of objects unlikely to be beneficial …

Reward can influence visual performance, but the neural basis of this effect remains poorly
understood. Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate how …

Stimulus-reward coupling without attention can induce highly specific perceptual learning
effects, suggesting that reward triggers selective plasticity within visual cortex. Additionally …

Human decision-making frequently relies on mental simulation of future rewards to guide
action choice. In this study, we sought to uncover brain regions engaged during reward …
