Neural mechanisms underlying robust target selection in response to microstimulation of the oculomotor system

The paper investigates how reward feedback interacts with microstimulation in the frontal eye field to influence saccadic choices in macaques, finding reward-dependent adaptation and no global learning effects.

Discovering dynamical models of human behavior

This paper introduces task-DyVA, a deep learning framework that models human response time sequences, capturing subject-specific behavioral differences and providing insights into cognitive theories.

Separable influences of reward on visual processing and choice

This study investigates how reward influences visual processing and choice in monkeys, finding distinct effects on sensitivity to motion and decision-making.
