Sensorimotor encoding of epistemic value during goal-directed causal learning

The paper investigates how the brain encodes epistemic value during goal-directed causal learning, showing that expected information gain is represented in sensorimotor regions and challenges traditional views of reward-based valuation.

Higher-order and distributed synergistic functional interactions encode information gain in goal-directed learning

This study shows that information gain in goal-directed learning is encoded through synergistic and higher-order functional interactions across cortical circuits.

Neural interactions in the human frontal cortex dissociate reward and punishment learning

The paper identifies distinct neural interaction subsystems in the human frontal cortex for reward and punishment learning using intracranial recordings.

Group-level inference of information-based measures for the analyses of cognitive brain networks from neurophysiological data

The paper introduces a non-parametric permutation-based framework for group-level analysis of cognitive brain networks using neurophysiological data and presents an open-source Python toolbox called Frites.
