Neural Representations of Sensory Uncertainty and Confidence Are Associated with Perceptual Curiosity

M. Cohanpour, M. Aly, et al.

Humans are driven to reduce uncertainty — this fMRI study finds that low subjective confidence and a novel “OTC Certainty” measure in occipitotemporal cortex predict spikes in perceptual curiosity, while vmPFC and ACC track confidence and vmPFC mediates the OTC–curiosity link. Research conducted by Michael Cohanpour, Mariam Aly, and Jacqueline Gottlieb.
