Towards a neuroscience of active sampling and curiosity
J Gottlieb, PY Oudeyer - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2018 - nature.com
In natural behaviour, animals actively interrogate their environments using endogenously
generated 'question-and-answer'strategies. However, in laboratory settings participants …

Diffusion decision model: Current issues and history
There is growing interest in diffusion models to represent the cognitive and neural processes
of speeded decision making. Sequential-sampling models like the diffusion model have a …

[HTML][HTML] The psychology and neuroscience of curiosity
Curiosity is a basic element of our cognition, but its biological function, mechanisms, and
neural underpinning remain poorly understood. It is nonetheless a motivator for learning …

A closer look at the hippocampus and memory
Current interpretations of hippocampal memory function are blind to the fact that viewing
behaviors are pervasive and complicate the relationships among perception, behavior …

Triple dissociation of attention and decision computations across prefrontal cortex
LT Hunt, WMN Malalasekera, AO de Berker… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Naturalistic decision-making typically involves sequential deployment of attention to choice
alternatives to gather information before a decision is made. Attention filters how information …

Influence of reward motivation on human declarative memory
Motivational relevance can prioritize information for memory encoding and consolidation
based on reward value. In this review, we pinpoint the possible psychological and neural …

Contrasting effects of medial and lateral orbitofrontal cortex lesions on credit assignment and decision-making in humans
The orbitofrontal cortex is critical for goal-directed behavior. Recent work in macaques has
suggested the lateral orbitofrontal cortex (lOFC) is relatively more concerned with …

Intrinsic valuation of information in decision making under uncertainty
In a dynamic world, an accurate model of the environment is vital for survival, and agents
ought regularly to seek out new information with which to update their world models. This …

[HTML][HTML] Eye movements reveal epistemic curiosity in human observers
Saccadic (rapid) eye movements are primary means by which humans and non-human
primates sample visual information. However, while saccadic decisions are intensively …

Parietal neurons encode information sampling based on decision uncertainty
During natural behavior, animals actively gather information that is relevant for learning or
actions; however, the mechanisms of active sampling are rarely investigated. We tested …
