Abstract
Adaptive behavior utilizes environmental signals to update beliefs about the values of certain actions or events. In a lottery-bidding task, we found that participants underweight good news but utilized bad news following Bayes' rule. Activation of the frontoparietal cortex assessed with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) correlates with such valence-dependent effects.
