Here, we show that current theories of reinforcement learning provide a formal framework for connecting the physiological actions of specific neuromodulatory systems to behavioural control.

Yamada also says: "Such learning from unexpected events underlies reinforcement learning theory and is a well-known algorithm that occurs when people need to learn the rewards from experience.

Collaborators Pulkit Agrawal, assistant professor in EECS, and Alexander Rakhlin, associate professor in BCS, will spearhead efforts to integrate astrocytes into reinforcement learning theory.

The bird has never gotten much credit for being intelligent. But the reinforcement learning powering the world’s most ...

Social learning theory, developed by psychologist Albert Bandura, uses theories of classical and operant conditioning. But in this theory, the environment plays a large part in learning.
