Neural Coding of Uncertainty and Probability

Neural Coding of Uncertainty and Probability. Ma, W. J. & Jazayeri, M. Annual Review of Neuroscience, 37(1):205–220, 2014.

Paper doi abstract bibtex

Organisms must act in the face of sensory, motor, and reward uncertainty stemming from a pandemonium of stochasticity and missing information. In many tasks, organisms can make better decisions if they have at their disposal a representation of the uncertainty associated with task-relevant variables. We formalize this problem using Bayesian decision theory and review recent behavioral and neural evidence that the brain may use knowledge of uncertainty, confidence, and probability.
