Categorical choices are preceded by the accumulation of sensory evidence in favor of one
action or another. Current models describe evidence accumulation as a continuous process …

Perceptual decision making is the process by which animals detect, discriminate, and
categorize information from the senses. Over the past two decades, understanding how …

Patterns of neural firing linked to eye movement decisions show that behavioral decisions
are predicted by the differential firing rates of cells coding selected and nonselected stimulus …

In this review, I briefly summarize current neurobiological studies of decision-making that
bear on two general themes. The first focuses on the nature of neural representation and …

Decisions based on uncertain information may benefit from an accumulation of information
over time. We asked whether such an accumulation process may underlie decisions about …

Simple decisions arise from the evaluation of sensory evidence. But decisions are
determined by more than just evidence. Individuals establish internal decision criteria that …

Decision-making strategies evolve during training and can continue to vary even in well-
trained animals. However, studies of sensory decision-making tend to characterize behavior …

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

Perceptual decisions arise from the activity of neurons distributed across brain circuits. But,
decoding the mechanisms behind this cognitive operation across brain circuits has long …

Environment is represented in the brain by a neural code that is a result of the
spatiotemporal pattern of incoming sensory information. Sensory neurons encode inputs …
