Temporal prediction error triggers amygdala-dependent memory updating in appetitive operant conditioning in rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023
Reinforcement learning theories postulate that prediction error, i.e., a discrepancy between the actual and expected outcomes, drives reconsolidation and new learning, inducing an updating of the initial memory.

An operant conditioning method for studying auditory behaviors in marmoset monkeys. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is a small New World primate that has increasingly been used as a non-human model in the fields of sensory, motor, and cognitive neuroscience.

Teaching Tracheostomy Tube Changes: Comparison of Operant Learning Versus Traditional Demonstration

open access: yesOTO Open, 2023
Objective Tracheostomy tube change is a multistep skill that must be performed rapidly and precisely. Despite the critical importance of this skill, there is wide variation in teaching protocols.

Operant Conditioning in Skinnerbots [PDF]

open access: yesAdaptive Behavior, 1997
Instrumental (or operant) conditioning, a form of animal learning, is similar to reinforcement learning (Watkins, 1989) in that it allows an agent to adapt its actions to gain maximally from the environment while being rewarded only for correct performance.

Neural Operant Conditioning as a Core Mechanism of Brain-Machine Interface Control

open access: yesTechnologies, 2016
The process of changing the neuronal activity of the brain to acquire rewards in a broad sense is essential for utilizing brain-machine interfaces (BMIs), which is essentially operant conditioning of neuronal activity.

Controlling the operating conditions in an operating room [PDF]

open access: yes2014 11th International Conference on Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation (REV), 2014
In this paper, we describe the development of a module capable of controlling environmental conditions, personnel movement and management of other important parameters for an operating room (OR) or surgery block. The base of assembly uses a real-life small scale model trying to simulate the systematic functionality of an OR as well as its crucial ...

Semi-Automated Training of Rat Ultrasonic Vocalizations

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022
Rats produce ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) for conspecific communication. These USVs are valuable biomarkers for studying behavioral and mechanistic changes in a variety of diseases and disorders. Previous work has demonstrated operant conditioning can

Pain rewarded: hyperalgesic and allodynic effect of operant conditioning in healthy humans : protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: "pain rewarded" is a hypothesis wherein acute pain sufferers are exposed to reinforcers and punishers from their environment that shape their behaviour, i.e. pain responses.

`Operational' energy conditions [PDF]

open access: yesClassical and Quantum Gravity, 1998
I show that a quantized Klein-Gordon field in Minkowski space obeys an `operational' weak energy condition: the energy of an isolated device constructed to measure or trap the energy in a region, plus the energy it measures or traps, cannot be negative.
