This tutorial will introduce the basic concepts of reinforcement learning and how they have been applied in psychology and neuroscience. The second half of the tutorial will involve hands-on exercises, exploring how simple algorithms can explain aspects of animal learning and the firing of dopamine neurons.

Please bring a laptop with MATLAB installed so you can participate in the hands-on portion of the tutorial.
