Mechanisms of Multi-Object Working Memory and Motion Prediction in the Primate Brain
… work, we tackle these two open questions using primate neurophysiology and computational modeling. We trained monkeys to perform multi-object memory and motion prediction tasks, recorded large-scale single-unit activity from frontal cortex brain areas, and rigorously compared different …

Cortical Representation of Learning Social Interactions In Freely Moving Non-Human Primates
… is especially true for humans and non-human primates. Although recent studies in primate neurophysiology discovered neurons that can encode socially relevant variables, like reward and social actions, the underlying neural mechanisms of learning advanced social concepts, such as cooperation, …

Getting a monkey to do your bidding: Developing a Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (BDM) method for use in monkeys
The Becker-DeGroot-Marschak method (BDM) is an auction-like mechanism widely used in behavioural economics, marketing research, and, more recently, in neuroimaging studies of human decision making. The BDM has never been used with animal subjects before, yet its application in monkeys would allow …

Measuring the Subjective Value of Effort in Behaviour and Midbrain Dopamine Neurons
Reward follows work, but with finite energy, all life must decide what reward is worth the work. Economic theory provides a framework of how rational decision makers optimise this choice: agents should maximise the possible utility (subjective benefit) discounted by the disutility (subjective cost) …
