Webb, Ryan; Glimcher, Paul; Levy, Ifat; Lazzaro, Stephanie - 2019
We assess whether a cardinal model can be used to relate neural observables to stochastic choice behaviour. We develop a general empirical framework for relating any neural observable to choice prediction, and propose a means of bench-marking their predictive power. In a previous study,...
