Spontaneous eye blink rate predicts individual differences in exploration and exploitation during reinforcement learning

This study finds that spontaneous eye blink rate (sEBR) predicts individual differences in exploration and exploitation during reinforcement learning, specifically linking lower sEBR to exploitative choices and higher sEBR to exploration.

Pupil responses as indicators of value-based decision-making

This study uses pupil responses to track value-based decision-making and reinforcement learning during a task, finding distinct patterns linked to value beliefs and reward prediction errors.
