M.: Uncertainty of treatment efficacy moderates placebo effects on reinforcement learning". Abstract: The placebo-reward hypothesis postulates that positive effects of treatment expectations on health (i.e., placebo effects) and reward processing share common neural underpinnings. Moreover, experiments in humans and animals indicate that reward uncertainty increases striatal dopamine, which is presumably involved in placebo responses and reward learning. Therefore, treatment uncertainty, analogously to reward uncertainty, may affect reward learning after placebo treatment. Here, we address whether different degrees of uncertainty regarding the efficacy of a sham treatment affect reward learning. In an online between-subjects experiment with N=141 participants, we systematically varied the provided efficacy instructions before participants first received a sham treatment that consisted of listening to binaural beats and then performed a probabilistic reinforcement learning task. We fitted a Q-learning model including two different learning rates for positive (gain) and negative (loss) reward prediction errors and an inverse gain parameter to behavioral decision data in the reinforcement learning task. Our results yielded an inverted-U-relationship between provided treatment efficacy probability and learning rates for gain, such that higher levels of treatment uncertainty, rather than of expected net efficacy, affect presumably dopamine-related reward learning. These findings support the placebo-reward hypothesis and suggest harnessing uncertainty in placebo treatment for recovering reward learning capabilities.Research Data Open Access Integration of optic flow into the sky compass network in the brain of the desert locust (Frontiers Version)Zittrell, Frederick; Pabst, Kathrin; Carlomagno, Elena; Rosner, Ronny; Pegel, Uta; Endres, Dominik; Homberg, UweResearch Data Open Access A Model for Optic Flow Integration in Locust Central-Complex Neurons Tuned to Head Direction(Kathrin Pabst) Pabst, Kathrin; Zittrell, Frederick; Endres, Dominik; Homberg, UweResearch Data Open Access Modeling aberrant volatility estimates in Autism Spectrum Disorder(AE Theoretische Kognitionswissenschaft) Niehaus, Haukem; Kamp-Becker, Inge; Endres, Dominik; Stroth, SannaResearch Data Open Access A Bayesian Model for Chronic Pain.Eckert, Anna-Lena; Endres, Dominik; Pabst, KathrinResearch Data Open Access A collection of identities for variational inference with exponential-family modelsEndres, Dominik; Pabst, Kathrin; Eckert, Anna-Lena; Schween, RaphaelResearch Data Open Access Modeling Reward Learning Under Placebo Expectancies: A Q-Learning Approach(2022-05-10) Augustat, Nick; Müller, Erik Malte; Endres, Dominik; Chuang, Li-Ching; Panitz, Christian; Stolz, ChristopherResearch Data Open Access Distracted by Previous Experience: Integrating Selection History, Current Task Demands and Saliency in an Algorithmic Model- Springer2024(Philipps-Universität marburg, 07.05.2021) Endres, Dominik; Meibodi, Neda; Meibodi, NedaThis repository contains the files and data necessary to recreate the results from the paper Meibodi, N., Abbasi, H., Schubö, A. et al.
