Abstract :
Curiosity is a key element of human development, driving us to explore spontaneously novel objects, activities and environments [1]. Curiosity-driven exploration strategies permit us to interact, learn and evolve quickly in an open ended world. It is thus an important challenge to understand the fundamental mechanisms of spontaneous exploration and curiosity in humans.
