Decisions are often associated with a degree of certainty, or confidence—an estimate of the
probability that the chosen option will be correct. Recent neurophysiological results suggest …

Perceptual decision making is a multi-stage process where incoming sensory information is
used to select one option from several alternatives. Researchers typically have adopted one …

Trained monkeys performed a two-choice perceptual decision-making task in which they
reported the perceived orientation of a dynamic Glass pattern, before and after unilateral …

The study of perceptual decision making has made significant progress owing to major
contributions from two experimental paradigms: the sequential vibrotactile frequency …

The problem of neural coding in perceptual decision making revolves around two
fundamental questions:(i) How are the neural representations of sensory stimuli related to …

Decision making is a complex process in which different sources of information are
combined into a decision variable (DV) that guides action [1, 2]. Neurophysiological studies …

Under uncertainty, the brain uses previous knowledge to transform sensory inputs into the
percepts on which decisions are based. When the uncertainty lies in the timing of sensory …

Behavior can be guided by neuronal activity in visual, auditory, or somatosensory cerebral
cortex, depending on task requirements. In contrast to this flexible access of cortical signals …

The study of perceptual decision-making offers insight into how the brain uses complex,
sometimes ambiguous information to guide actions. Understanding the underlying …

The activity of neurons in sensory areas sometimes covaries with upcoming choices in
decision-making tasks. However, the prevalence, causal origin, and functional role of choice …
