Pupil Size Reflects Exploration and Exploitation in Visual Search (and It’s Like Object-Based Attention)

2021-02-08

Abstract excerpt

The adaptive gain theory (AGT) posits that activity in the locus coeruleus (LC) is linked to two behavioral modes: exploitation, characterized by focused attention on a single task; and exploration, characterized by a lack of focused attention and frequent switching between tasks. Furthermore, pupil size correlates with LC activity, such that large pupils indicate increased LC firing, and by extension also explora...
