Misdirected vigor: Differentiating the control of value from the value of control

TL;DR: This paper proposed a theory of dACC function that integrates information relevant to determining the expected value of control (EVC), including signals pertaining to demands for control and those pertaining to the potential incentives for control, and uses this to determine how best to allocate cognitive control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Compositional Sequence Generation in the Entorhinal–Hippocampal System

TL;DR: In this paper , the synthesis of multiple dynamical systems can support compositional cognitive computations in the medial entorhinal cortex of the human brain, and the authors describe several neural network architectures supporting various types of compositionality based on grid coding and highlight connections to recent work in machine learning leveraging analogous techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-Learned Models of Cognition

TL;DR: Meta-learning is a framework for learning learning algorithms through repeated interactions with an environment as opposed to designing them by hand as mentioned in this paper , and meta-learning can be used to construct Bayes-optimal learning algorithms.

BCI learning phenomena can be explained by gradient-based optimization

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show that the speed at which a BCI task can be learned is dependent on how closely the required neural activity aligns with pre-existing activity patterns.
