A big mystery in brain research is what are the neural mechanisms that drive individual differences in higher order cognitive processes. Here we present a new theoretical framework w/ @brody_lab @mikio_aoi @SussilloDavid @ValerioMante @jpillowtime
1/16 First, we trained rats to perform flexible evidence accumulation (like the monkeys in Mante et al 2013). Rats were presented with a train of auditory pulses, and were cued to selectively accumulate location (ignoring frequency) or to accumulate frequency (ignoring location).
