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

The neuroscience of decision making is a rapidly evolving multidisciplinary research area
that employs neuroscientific techniques to explain various parameters associated with …

Decision-making is the process of choosing one out of several alternatives. The study of
decision-making is inherently multidisciplinary and can be approached from many different …

Traditional interpretation has relied on revealed preferences and (sometimes) on verbal
reports to understand desires of individuals and predict actions. Neuropsycho-economics …

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

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

Purpose Differences in choices provide a window into the variety of human preferences and
behaviors. Most non-trivial decisions recruit multiple regions of the brain with activity that …

Current theories suggest that adaptive decision-making necessitates the interaction
between multiple decision-making systems. The computational definitions of different …

Every second of every day we are bombarded by a plethora of sensory information, which
we must rapidly and accurately integrate to make timely decisions. Perceptual-decision …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on challenge of studying the neurobiology of
decision-making. Establishing causal links between neural responses and perceptual or …
