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.
