A decision is a commitment to a proposition among multiple options. Often this commitment
leads to a particular course of action. It might be said that the life of an organism consists of a …

The aim of statistical decision theories is to understand how evidence, prior knowledge, and
values lead an organism to commit to one of a number of alternatives. Two main statistical …

Investigation into the neural and computational bases of decision-making has proceeded in
two parallel but distinct streams. Perceptual decision-making (PDM) is concerned with how …

The neural mechanism underlying simple perceptual decision-making in monkeys has been
recently conceptualized as an integrative process in which sensory evidence supporting …

Classical models of perceptual decision-making assume that subjects use a single,
consistent strategy to form decisions, or that decision-making strategies evolve slowly over …

Maladaptive decision-making is increasingly recognized to play a significant role in
numerous psychiatric disorders, such that therapeutics capable of ameliorating core …

The foundation for modern understanding of how we make perceptual decisions about what
we see or where to look comes from considering the optimal way to perform these …

▪ Abstract Over the past two decades significant progress has been made toward
understanding the neural basis of primate decision making, the biological process that …

Simple perceptual tasks have laid the groundwork for understanding the neurobiology of
decision-making. Here, we examined this foundation to explain how decision-making …

The ability to manipulate neural activity with precision is an asset in uncovering neural
circuits for decision-making. Diverse tools for manipulating neurons are available for mice …
