Mechanisms underlying reinforcement learning of motor skills
Motor learning allows animals, including human beings, to acquire skills that are es-sential for efficient interactions with the environment. This ability to learn new motor skills is of great practical relevance for daily-life activities (such as when lea ...
EPFL2023Model-based reinforcement learning and navigation in animals and machines
For decades, neuroscientists and psychologists have observed that animal performance on spatial navigation tasks suggests an internal learned map of the environment. More recently, map-based (or model-based) reinforcement learning has become a highly activ ...
EPFL2018Task-Driven Activity Reduces the Cortical Activity Space of the Brain: Experiment and Whole-Brain Modeling
How a stimulus or a task alters the spontaneous dynamics of the brain remains a fundamental open question in neuroscience. One of the most robust hallmarks of task/stimulus-driven brain dynamics is the decrease of variability with respect to the spontaneou ...

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Wulfram Gerstner, Gediminas Luksys
Suppose we train an animal in a conditioning experiment. Can one predict how a given animal, under given experimental conditions, would perform the task? Since various factors such as stress, motivation, genetic background, and previous errors in task perf ...

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Gediminas Luksys
Acute stress regulates different aspects of behavioral learning through the action of stress hormones and neuromodulators. Stress effects depend on stressor's type, intensity, timing, and the learning paradigm. In addition, genetic background of animals mi ...
EPFL2009Effects of stress and genotype on meta-parameter dynamics in reinforcement learning
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Wulfram Gerstner, Gediminas Luksys, Jérémie Knüsel
Stress and genetic background regulate different aspects of behavioral learning through the action of stress hormones and neuromodulators. In reinforcement learning (RL) models, meta-parameters such as learning rate, future reward discount factor, and expl ...
