A roadmap to reverse engineering real-world generalization by combining naturalistic paradigms, deep sampling, and predictive computational models Open
Real-world generalization, e.g., deciding to approach a never-seen-before animal, relies on contextual information as well as previous experiences. Such a seemingly easy behavioral choice requires the interplay of multiple neural mechanism…
