Disentangling the temporal signatures of conditioned pupil dilation: Distinct valence- and prediction-error-related components revealed by mega-analysis

2026-07-21

Abstract excerpt

Pupil dilation offers a sensitive, non-invasive window into the neurocognitive processes supporting human associative learning. Yet, the field lacks consensus on how to quantify conditioned pupil responses, particularly which time intervals best serve as readouts. Moreover, it remains unresolved whether pupil dilation during learning reflects a unitary arousal signal or multiple (overlapping yet distinct) processe...
