Rules warp feature encoding in decision-making circuits
by R. Becket Ebitz, Jiaxin Cindy Tu, Benjamin Y. Hayden
We have the capacity to follow arbitrary stimulus–response rules, meaning simple policies that guide our behavior. Rule identity is broadly encoded across decision-making circuits, but there are less data on how rules shape the computations that lead to choices. One idea is that rules could simplify these computations. When we follow a rule, there is no need to encode or compute information that is irrelevant to the current rule, which... Читать дальше...
