Physical mechanism of mind changes and tradeoffs among speed, accuracy, and energy cost in brain decision making: Landscape, flux, and path perspectives

Yan Han^{1, 2}, Zhang Kun², Wang Jin^{1, 2, 3, †,}

The ratio of the probability of two paths and the energy cost of changes of mind. (a) P_right represents the probability of the optimal path that the decision network made a wrong choice at first and then changes from the wrong to the right choice. Contrarily, P_wrong represents the probability of the optimal path from the right to the wrong choice. (b) The total energy cost in changes of mind versus parameter b.
