Perceptual decision making requires a complex set of computations to implement, evaluate,
and adjust the conversion of sensory input into a categorical judgment. Little is known about …

Sequential sampling models have provided a dominant theoretical framework guiding
computational and neurophysiological investigations of perceptual decision-making. While …

Perceptual decision making is believed to be driven by the accumulation of sensory
evidence following stimulus encoding. More controversially, some studies report that neural …

Simple perceptual tasks have laid the groundwork for understanding the neurobiology of
decision-making. Here, we examined this foundation to explain how decision-making …

Single and multi-unit recordings in primates have identified spatially localized neuronal
activity correlating with an animal's behavioral performance. Due to the invasive nature of …

Psychometric functions are often interpreted in the context of Signal Detection Theory, which
emphasizes a distinction between sensory processing and non-sensory decision rules in the …

The cognitive and neuronal mechanisms of perceptual decision making have been
successfully linked to sequential sampling models. These models describe the decision …

Single-unit and multiunit recordings in primates have already established that decision
making involves at least two general stages of neural processing: representation of …

The extent to which different cognitive processes are “embodied” is widely debated.
Previous studies have implicated sensorimotor regions such as lateral intraparietal (LIP) …

Neurons in putative decision-making structures can reflect both sensory and decision
signals, making their causal role in decisions unclear. Here, we tested whether rat posterior …
