An Information Compass for Probabilistic Reasoning in the Brain

Probabilistic reasoning in the brain has been studied primarily using simple two-choice tasks that are experimentally and theoretically tractable but have unclear relevance to more complex problems. Here we generalize principles from these studies using information geometry, which treats probability distributions (``beliefs'') as points on statistical manifolds whose geometry captures…
