This post is too short for the amount of knowledge it seeks to refer. It does little more than list the references associated with terse and vague-to-the-reader hints about their topic and interrelation. It looks more like an obligatory survey section of a paper that ought to include a survey section to position itself in the context of a field and less like an introductory survey of survey articles that I expect it was intended as being.
I can only see it being useful for a reader who would follow it by digging into the referenced papers. A good cause, but it feels like there was more low-hanging fruit potential for exposition resulting from your study of these topics.
We may have different ideas about how much knowledge I’m trying to refer.
I’m not hoping that people come away from this article with a good understanding of how the primate brain calculates value and uses this data in decision-making. I’m merely hoping to explain that we do actually seem to be doing something like maximizing subjective expected utility—much to the surprise even of economists—and that neuroscientists know a great deal about how this works.
If you want the full story, you need to read a book. I’ve recommended several.
