- W3214081781 abstract "Abstract Surprising events trigger measurable brain activity and influence human behavior by affecting learning, memory, and decision-making. Currently there is, however, no consensus on the definition of surprise. Here we identify 16 mathematical definitions of surprise in a unifying framework, show how these definitions relate to each other, and prove under what conditions they are indistinguishable. We classify these surprise measures into four main categories: (i) change-point detection surprise, (ii) information gain surprise, (iii) prediction surprise, and (iv) confidence-correction surprise. We design experimental paradigms where different categories make different predictions: we show that surprise-modulation of the speed of learning leads to sensible adaptive behavior only for change-point detection surprise whereas surprise-seeking leads to sensible exploration strategies only for information gain surprise. However, since neither change-point detection surprise nor information gain surprise perfectly reflect the definition of ‘surprise’ in natural language, a combination of prediction surprise and confidence-correction surprise is needed to capture intuitive aspects of surprise perception. We formalize this combination in a new definition of surprise with testable experimental predictions. We conclude that there cannot be a single surprise measure with all functions and properties previously attributed to surprise. Consequently, we postulate that multiple neural mechanisms exist to detect and signal different aspects of surprise.
