OFC neurons are representing both task state (through which neurons are active) and value (as the total activity).

François Ferron 🇪🇺 🔷️🔶️So yesterday i read a promotion `article´ in <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/biorxiv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#biorxiv</a> from a company proposing an <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> pipeline to write from proposal grants to the article ... "to allow the researcher to focus on the important things" and today I read a post saying that <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nature</a> is thinking to used AI to be part of the peer review process.🙄 I think it is time for scientists, scientific bodies , National Academies of science... to put an end to this madness. All that money used for this | "help me to find the correct term " | is diverted from actual grant money, fair and actual smart research.
