Novelty is not surprise: Human exploratory and adaptive behavior in sequential decision-making

open access: yesPLoS Comput. Biol., 2021
Classic reinforcement learning (RL) theories cannot explain human behavior in the absence of external reward or when the environment changes. Here, we employ a deep sequential decision-making paradigm with sparse reward and abrupt environmental changes ...

Surprise!

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Epidemiology, 2020
Measures of information and surprise, such as the Shannon information (the $S$ value), quantify the signal present in a stream of noisy data. We illustrate the use of such information measures in the context of interpreting $P$ values as compatibility ...

Language can obscure as well as facilitate apparent-Theory of mind performance: part 1 - An exploratory study with 4 year-Olds using the element of surprise

open access: yesCogent Psychology, 2022
Language is integral to children’s Theory of Mind (ToM) development. Here, we also considered whether language emerges as important because tasks assess ToM through language.

Novela gráfica chilena : el código del terror

open access: yesAmerika, 2023
Chile is not yet able to present a graphic novel tradition in which the topic of terror is central. The country does not have a series of works that over the years has been condensed into what could be called the Chilean graphic novel of terror. However,

open access: yesZeitschrift der Gesellschaft für Musiktheorie, 2013
Descriptive music analysis often aims to explain musical experience in terms of the characteristics of musical structure. But musical experience is largely subjective and varies from listener to listener.

Why the Conjunction Effect Is Rarely a Fallacy: How Learning Influences Uncertainty and the Conjunction Rule

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
In this article we explore the relationship between learning and the conjunction fallacy. The interpretation of the conjunction effect as a fallacy assumes that all observers share the same knowledge, and that nobody has access to privileged information.

Behavioral, physiological, and neural signatures of surprise during naturalistic sports viewing

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
Surprise signals a discrepancy between past and current beliefs. It is theorized to be linked to affective experiences, the creation of particularly resilient memories, and segmentation of the flow of experience into discrete perceived events.

Learning in Volatile Environments With the Bayes Factor Surprise

open access: yesNeural Computation, 2021
Surprise-based learning allows agents to rapidly adapt to nonstationary stochastic environments characterized by sudden changes. We show that exact Bayesian inference in a hierarchical model gives rise to a surprise-modulated trade-off between forgetting

Bayesian surprise attracts human attention

open access: yesNeural Information Processing Systems, 2005
We propose a formal Bayesian definition of surprise to capture subjective aspects of sensory information. Surprise measures how data affects an observer, in terms of differences between posterior and prior beliefs about the world.

A Review of Possible EEG Markers of Abstraction, Attentiveness, and Memorisation in Cyber-Physical Systems for Special Education

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021
Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) for special education rely on effective mental and brain processing during the lesson, performed with the assistance of humanoid robots. The improved diagnostic ability of the CPS is a prerogative of the system for efficient
