Abstract
This symposium builds on Peter Dayan’s seminal contributions
to linking psychological, neural and computational phenomena. In particular,
speakers will discuss recent work growing out of two areas where Dayan made early
and fundamental contributions: the brain’s mechanisms for reinforcement
learning, and neural representations supporting probabilistic inference under
uncertainty.
