Martingales provide a theoretical framework for examining
exploratory and habitual behavior. The ``expectation engine for
a finite martingale can be constructed using a resistive network or
digital relaxation algorithm. Potentials in the resistive network
are exactly the expected values (as a function of state) for the
corresponding martingale. This talk will explore the relationships
among exploratory and habitual behavior in a state-space context,
using the physiology and pathology of the basal ganglia as a source
of inspiration.
