The study of perceptual decision-making in monkeys has provided insights into the process
by which sensory evidence is integrated toward a decision. When monkeys make decisions …

The study of non-human primates has been foundational in understanding the neural origins
of human decision processes, yet the approach rests on the assumption that one can validly …

A critical component of decision making is the ability to adjust criteria for classifying stimuli.
fMRI and drift diffusion models were used to explore the neural representations of …

During perceptual decisions the activity of sensory neurons covaries with choice, a
covariation often quantified as “choice-probability”. Moreover, choices are influenced by a …

Humans have a remarkable capacity to mentally project themselves far ahead in time. This
ability, which entails the mental simulation of events, is thought to be fundamental to …

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

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 …

Our understanding of the neural basis of perceptual decision making has been built in part
on relating co-fluctuations of single neuron responses to perceptual decisions on a trial-by …

Humans exhibit framing effects when making choices, appraising decisions involving losses
differently from those involving gains. To directly test for the evolutionary origin of this bias …

Neurons in putative decision-making structures can reflect both sensory and decision
signals, making their causal role in decisions unclear. Here, we tested whether rat posterior …
