In this chapter, we’ll be discussing the reward system used in reinforcement learning agents and how the reinforcement learning system took inspiration from the biological reward system that drives humanity and many other organisms found on earth.

We’ll talk about how these reward systems work in biological organisms and then look at how engineers have taken inspiration from the reward system and implemented it into reinforcement learning agents for incredible results.

Then you’ll learn how and when ...
