Can you point out the particular paragraph in your neuroscience post you're referring to? I looked and couldn't find anything that obviously fit the bill.
I would be very worried that you're describing something closer to "wanting", but that CEV should take as input something closer to "approving"
I couldn't find the precise paragraph, either. Searching the literature lead me to pp.136-7 of Glimcher's Foundations of Neuroeconomic Analysis. See his definitions for "subjective value" and "utility." I imagine this is the source Luke drew the fact from.
