Pupil size predicts the onset of exploration and changes in prefrontal dynamics

2023-05-24

Abstract excerpt

In uncertain environments, intelligent decision-makers exploit actions that have been rewarding in the past, but also explore actions that could be even better. Several neuromodulatory systems are implicated in exploration, based, in part, on work linking exploration to pupil size–a peripheral correlate of neuromodulatory tone and index of arousal. However, pupil size could instead track variables that make explor...
