Toward an Integration of Deep Learning and Neuroscience (2016, background): “In particular, the timescale over which cost functions operate remains unclear: motor optimization may occur via real-time responses to a cost function that is computed and optimized online, or via policy choices that change over time more slowly in response to the cost function (Körding, 2007).”
One and Done? Optimal Decisions From Very Few Samples (2014, background): “Although this decision will be informed by prior experiences that produced intricate cognitive representations of possible traffic flow, at one particular junction these complex representations collapse onto a prediction about a binary variable and decision: Should we turn left or right? Statistical”
A computational neuroanatomy for motor control (2008, background): “Except here, the regularity was in our movements and the search was for normative laws that governed our behavior (for review see Kording 2007 ).”
