Abstract:
Impulsive choice is a facet of impulsivity that may lead to one choosing smaller, immediate rewards over larger, delayed rewards. We examined impulsive choice behavior in humans undergoing intracranial seizure monitoring by fitting reinforcement learning models to behavior and broadband high frequency (70-150Hz) local field potentials. We found neural and behavioral differences between more and less impulsive choosers, informing the neural underpinnings of impulsive choices.
