Abstract: A widely accepted story about dopamine is that it reports reward prediction errors. The real story is more complicated. Some aspects of dopamine that appear incompatible with the prediction error hypothesis are in fact perfectly compatible when we look through the right theoretical lens. Other aspects of dopamine force us to rethink its computational function more fundamentally.
