Modulation of striatal projection systems by dopamine (2011, neutral): “…information provided by the cerebral cortex to facilitate the selection of an appropriate action out of a collections of possibilities (Balleine et al., 2007; Nambu, 2008; Cisek and Kalaska, 2010).. Distinct cortico-basal ganglia loops are thought to perform different aspects of this computation.”
Dopamine, Affordance and Active Inference (2012, background): “This formulation sits comfortably with the affordance competition hypothesis [2], [39] and other theoretical accounts: for example, the uncertainty processing theory of motivation [40], neurobiological accounts of decision-making [41], [42] and the plurality of roles suggested by the physiology of d”
Ecological-Enactive Cognition as engaging with a field of relevant affordances (2018, background): “…recent years, changes in body and brain gained a lot of attention in research on what is called ‘the anticipating brain’ (see e.g. Friston 2010, 2011; Allen and Friston, 2016; Allen and Gallagher 2016; Kiebel, Daunizeau, and Friston 2008; Cisek 2007; Cisek and Kalaska 2010; Pezzulo and Cisek 2016).”
