⚡ A brain implant delivers a microsecond pulse to cortex, and the textbook answer is that the neuron fires. The biology turns out to be far richer, which matters for every patient feeling through a prosthetic hand, suppressing a seizure, or treating depression by stimulation.

New preprint (doi.org/10.64898/202...) shows that where you look next is an economic decision. Saccades trade off effort-costs (measured via pupil) against monetary rewards. 1) By default, participants have strong saccade direction preferences (e.g., cardinal over diagonal, up over down) (1/4)
Left: participants prefer cardinals and upward directions without receiving rewards. Center: after titrating rewards throughout the experiment, downward and cardinal directions provide less reward, i.e., participants are willing to saccade there even though they gain little in comparison. Right: This titration of rewards offsets the internal saccade costs, leading to uniform preference across directions
