Optimal coding and neuronal adaptation in economic decisions

Optimal coding and neuronal adaptation in economic decisions

During economic decisions, offer value cells in orbitofrontal cortex encode the values of offered goods and undergo range adaptation. Here the authors present a theory of optimal coding based on payoff maximization. For linear tuning functions, range adaptation in offer value cells ensures maximal e...
