A healthy fear of the unknown: perspectives on the interpretation of parameter fits from computational models in neuroscience.

Fitting models to behavior is commonly used to infer the latent computational factors responsible for generating behavior. However, the complexity of many behaviors can handicap the interpretation of such models. Here we provide perspectives on problems that can arise when interpreting parameter fit...
