The unexpected creates reward when listening to music | Channels - McGill University - 0 views

  • Using an algorithm, the researchers then determined the reward prediction error for each choice
  • Subjects whose reward prediction errors most closely matched activity in the nucleus accubens also showed the most progress in learning the choices that led to the consonant tones
