According to the dominant view, time in perceptual decision making is used for integrating
new sensory evidence. Based on a probabilistic framework, we investigated the alternative …

Making informed decisions in noisy environments requires integrating sensory information
over time. However, recent work has suggested that it may be difficult to determine whether …

How do we combine memories with sensory input to make decisions? Previous research
has shown that perceptual decisions can be made on the basis of prior expectations …

Decisions made about identical perceptual stimuli can be radically different under changing
task demands. For example, the need to make a fast decision undermines the accuracy of …

Decision-making is often hierarchical and approximate in nature: decisions are not being
made based on actual observations, but on intermediate variables that themselves have to …

To interpret the sensory environment, the brain combines ambiguous sensory
measurements with context-specific prior experience. But environmental contexts can …

During perceptual decisions subjects often rely more strongly on early rather than late
sensory evidence even in tasks when both are equally informative about the correct …

Our brain compensates sensory uncertainty by combining multisensory information derived
from an event, and by integrating the current sensory signal with the prior knowledge about …

In the study of perceptual decision-making, the dominant theory holds that subjects
accumulate evidence over time until a threshold level is reached and a response is …
