Description
Akram Shourkeshti, Becket Ebitz, and co-authors link pupil size to explore acts by a tip point in front brain acts, in a 2025 study. Folks must weigh known good picks with probes for more good ones. Pupil size tracks a brain tone tied to probes, but its straight call on probes was not yet shown.
Two monkeys worked a shifting prize task while pupil and brain acts were logged. Big pupils in fixed light called probe starts past prize past effects. Big pupils also went with loose brain acts at lone cell and group grades. Tone may push brain acts past a tip to spark probes.
