The paper investigates how neural representations of uncertainty in visual areas relate to curiosity, finding that lower certainty in visual processing correlates with higher curiosity.

The paper shows that reward prediction errors are encoded in population-level activity of prefrontal and parietal neurons through opponent organization, enabling decoding of signed and unsigned RPEs.

This study investigates how reward uncertainty affects neural activity in monkey fronto-parietal areas, showing distinct cellular and network-level responses.
