Project B1 uses psychophysics, eye tracking, neuroimaging and pharmacological intervention to study the interaction of motivational and visual factors in guiding attention and learning about categories and rewards. Specific emphasis is given to naturalistic settings, both in terms of stimuli and tasks. B1 addresses the fundamental questions of how valuation flexibly guides perception and category formation and how perceptual and attentional mechanisms interact with value to optimize behavior.
