AbstractConsider a person in an environment containing patchy rewards. Under what circumstances should they stay in a given reward patch or leave that patch to seek out a new one? In a landmark 1976 study, Charnov derived the action policy that maximizes the expected rate at which this person gathers rewards.

AbstractSleep dysfunction affects over 90% of Parkinson’s disease patients. Recently, subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation has shown promise for alleviating sleep dysfunction. We previously showed that a single-layer neural network could classify sleep stages from local field potential recordings in Parkinson’s disease patients. However, it was unable to categorise non-rapid eye movement into its different sub-stages.
