Topic: reward distributions

The brain's ability to make economically efficient decisions plays a crucial role in processes like foraging and risk management. Given the inherent uncertainty about reward outcomes and world's latent states, the brain needs to construct distributional beliefs to enhance its performance in the decision-making process. It is not yet fully understood how the brain makes economic decisions in the presence of uncertainty, for instance, in a two-armed bandit task where arms have different reward distributions. Different frameworks have been suggested for representing probability distributions in t
