Introduction Studies of categorical decision-making attempt to understand behavior by
probing how different features of complex and changing environments guide the selection of …

Decision making cuts across most areas of intellectual enquiry and academic endeavor. The
classical view of individual human thinkers choosing among options remains important and …

Perceptual decision making is the act of choosing one option or course of action from a set
of alternatives on the basis of available sensory evidence. Thus, when we make such …

The intersection between the fields of behavioral decision research and neuroscience has
proved to be fertile ground for interdisciplinary research. Whereas the former is rich in …

Perceptual decisions are deliberative processes that convert noisy neural representations of
sensory input into categorical judgments. Because these decisions are amenable to …

How the brain processes information when making decisions depends on how that
information is stored. Distinct neural circuits are capable of storing information in many …

In recent years, our knowledge concerning the neurobiology of choice has increased
tremendously. Research in the field of decision-making has identified important brain …

Despite substantial advances, the question of how we make decisions and judgments
continues to pose important challenges for scientific research. Historically, different …

Decision-making behavior has been studied extensively, but the neurophysiological
mechanisms responsible for this remarkable cognitive ability are just beginning to be …

Nervous systems extract sensory information from the environment to guide behavior. The
underlying neural mechanisms have been studied extensively, in part by identifying neurons …
