Epistemic emotions, and in particular curiosity, seem to enhance memory for both the specific information that stimulates the individual's curiosity and information presented in close temporal proximity. Most studies on memory and curiosity have adop...
Rodent rearing behavior is frequently assessed as an indicator of anxiety and exploratory tendencies. This study developed a convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN) model to detect mouse rearing using overhead videos. Behavioral data from C57BL...

Current unsupervised reinforcement learning methods often overlook reward nonstationarity during pre-training and the forgetting of exploratory behavior during fine-tuning. Our study introduces Self-Reference (SR), a novel add-on module designed to a...
The accurate detection and quantification of rodent behavior forms a cornerstone of basic biomedical research. Current data-driven approaches, which segment free exploratory behavior into clusters, suffer from low statistical power due to multiple te...
The novel object recognition test (NORT) is one of the most commonly employed behavioral tests in experimental animals designed to evaluate an animal's interest in and recognition of novelty. However, manual procedures, which rely on researchers' obs...

Curiosity is a core driver for life-long learning, problem-solving and decision-making. In a broad sense, curiosity is defined as the intrinsically motivated acquisition of novel information. Despite a decades-long history of curiosity research and t...
What drives children to explore and learn when external rewards are uncertain or absent? Across three studies, we tested whether information gain itself acts as an internal reward and suffices to motivate children's actions. We measured 24-56-month-o...

Developing artificial intelligence (AI) agents is challenging for efficient exploration in visually rich and complex environments. In this study, we formulate the exploration question as a reinforcement learning problem and rely on intrinsic motivati...
Fast playback allows quick video exploration, but it also decreases the saliency of short events. We propose a haptic exploration for detection of short events during fast video playback, considering that event-related information in vibrotactile fee...
