While navigating the world, we constantly make decisions under uncertainty. In face of noisy perceptions, we build and continuously update our priors and expectations about future events in order to efficiently estimate and map sensory information to actions. In a non-stationary environment, exploratory behaviour may represent an optimal strategy to optimise reward at any given context. Even in stationary environments, animals may perform this innate exploratory behaviour and exhibit unexpected biases. In this work, we investigate how previous experience – sensory priors, as well as choice and
