Topic: statistical context

In perceptual judgments, sensory information is typically combined with contextual information which can determine the prior statistics. In a previously developed 2AFC auditory categorization task in which the stimulus sequence included two different statistical contexts, rats can capitalize on the context information but only in after-correct trials; in after-error trials, they consistently deviate from optimal behavior by waiving the accumulated context evidence (Hermoso-Mendizabal et al. 2020). Recently, it has been shown that Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) pre-trained in a naturalistic t
