Timing along the cardiac cycle modulates neural signals of reward-based learning

E. F. Fouragnan, B. Hosking, et al.

This groundbreaking study by Elsa F. Fouragnan and colleagues explores the intriguing interplay between the cardiac cycle and learning-related internal representations. Utilizing advanced EEG and machine learning techniques, the research reveals that our sensitivity to prediction errors varies with cardiac phases, influencing learning rates and accuracy. Discover how the heart might play a pivotal role in shaping our learning experiences!

Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between the cardiac cycle and learning-related internal representations (absolute and signed prediction errors). Combining machine learning techniques with EEG, the researchers found that sensitivity to low-magnitude absolute prediction errors is higher during certain cardiac phases, even with suprathreshold sensory events. Participants exhibiting stronger differences in prediction error representations between cardiac cycles showed higher learning rates and accuracy.
