abstract = {The exact mechanisms whereby the cholinergic
neurotransmitter system contributes to attentional
processing remain poorly understood. Here, we applied
computational modeling to psychophysical data (obtained from
a spatial attention task) under a psychopharmacological
challenge with the cholinesterase inhibitor galantamine
(Reminyl). This allowed us to characterize the cholinergic
modulation of selective attention formally, in terms of
hierarchical Bayesian inference. In a placebo-controlled,
within-subject, crossover design, 16 healthy human subjects
performed a modified version of Posner's location-cueing
task in which the proportion of validly and invalidly cued
targets (percentage of cue validity, $\%$ CV) changed over
time. Saccadic response speeds were used to estimate the
parameters of a hierarchical Bayesian model to test whether
cholinergic stimulation affected the trial-wise updating of
probabilistic beliefs that underlie the allocation of
attention or whether galantamine changed the mapping from
those beliefs to subsequent eye movements. Behaviorally,
galantamine led to a greater influence of probabilistic
context $(\%$ CV) on response speed than placebo. Crucially,
computational modeling suggested this effect was due to an
increase in the rate of belief updating about cue validity
(as opposed to the increased sensitivity of behavioral
responses to those beliefs). We discuss these findings with
respect to cholinergic effects on hierarchical cortical
processing and in relation to the encoding of expected
uncertainty or precision.},
