Hmm, But why would the picks to the locks lie in deep thought? Why would the keys be hidden in our minds only requiring attentiveness and mindfulness to find? That’s a strange place for a pick to be, no?
We can learn to change the associations, and the cortical content the rewards are associated with, and the relationship between that content and sensory data, and perhaps most importantly the expected reward in a given situation (which is what is actually driving our actions).

If by change the associations u mean actually legitimately find real associations, then yes, people are good at doing that, and that’s exactly what we were designed to do. That doesn’t seem like a hack but a design feature. If u mean feign an association...

We probably generate most of the basic reward signals in the limbic system, and they are associated through reinforcement learning with representations of situations and actions in the neocortex. We can modulate these associations, and the neocortex is fully up for grabs anyway.
