Habits are not all the same. We show that macaque monkeys develop habitual reaching through long-term value learning. Unlike habitual gaze, habitual manual choice is driven by learned value and spatial preferences—not visual salience.

happy 2 see Dr Okihide Hikosaka elected to NAS

Okihide has done an amazing amount of true discovery

Think big contributions to understanding of mechanisms of saccadic control, chunking and skill formation, reinforcement learning, and more!

Also a great mentor and friend.

@MonosovLab So handsome and intelligent!:)

Peer review would be easier if we stopped treating it like combat with the authors. Results want to be free, and perfect is the enemy of good. Do the data support the conclusions? If so, that’s enough. A paper isn’t a blank slate for projecting your own ideas.

We are hiring a talented postdoc!

우리 연구실 학생이 삼성휴먼테크논문대상 동상을 받음.
심사 과정이 매우 힘들었다고 하는데, 원래 상금이나 연구비를 받기 위해서 세상이 호락호락하지 않다는 것을 잘 배우는 좋은 기회라고 생각됨.
너무 좋은 경험했다!

Hikosaka선생님도 함께 하셨으면 좋았겠지만, 그렇게 되지 못한 것이 너무 아쉽다. 대신 acknowledgement에 다음 문구를 적어 놓았다. "Special thanks are extended to Dr Okihide Hikosaka for his insightful ideas and pioneering contributions to this field"

뇌 과학자로서 한 가지의 꿈은 교과서에 실릴 만한 뇌의 "큰 법칙"을 발견하고, 인간을 이해하고, 활용하여 인간을 인간답게 살 수 있는 방법을 제공하는 것이다. 2010년부터 15년 간 연구한 종합 결과가 이제 정리가 되어 BRAIN 12월호에 review논문으로 출간이 되었다.

How does the brain balance cognitive flexibility with habitual behaviour? Kim reviews evidence suggesting that rostral regions of the basal ganglia mediate adaptive, goal-directed behaviours, while caudal regions support efficient, automatic actions. https://t.co/uDC3bXev4j
