Choking on the Money Reward-Based Performance Decrements Are Associated With Midbrain Activity

TL;DR: Conurrent functional magnetic resonance imaging revealed that increased activity in ventral midbrain, a brain area associated with incentive motivation and basic reward responding, correlated with both reduced number of captures and increased number of near-misses associated with imminent high rewards.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cooperation and heterogeneity of the autistic mind

TL;DR: This work found that a selective difficulty representing the level of strategic sophistication of others, namely inferring others' mindreading strategy, specifically predicts symptom severity and provides the first quantitative approach that can reveal the underlying computational dysfunctions that generate the autistic “spectrum.”
Journal ArticleDOI

Activity in Face-Responsive Brain Regions is Modulated by Invisible, Attended Faces: Evidence from Masked Priming

TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging data demonstrate that fMRI activity in face-responsive regions can be modulated independently of perceptual awareness, and document where such subliminal face-processing occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Subcortical amygdala pathways enable rapid face processing

TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that a subcortical pathway to the amygdala plays a role in rapid sensory processing of faces, in particular during early stimulus processing, and contributes to an understanding of the amygdala as a behavioural relevance detector.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dopamine, reward learning, and active inference.

TL;DR: An active inference scheme for solving Markov decision processes is extended to include learning, and it is shown that simulated dopamine dynamics strongly resemble those actually observed during instrumental conditioning.
