Decisions are often based on a combination of new evidence with prior knowledge of the
probable best choice. Optimal combination requires knowledge about the reliability of …

The mouse is becoming a key species for research on the neural circuits of the early visual
system. To relate such circuits to perception, one must measure visually guided behavior …

The role of the primate middle temporal area (MT) in depth perception was examined by
considering the trial-to-trial correlations between neuronal activity and reported depth …

We investigated the role of the superior colliculus (SC) in saccade target selection while
macaque monkeys performed a direction-discrimination task. The monkeys selected one of …

In the past two decades, sensory neuroscience has moved from describing response
properties to external stimuli in cerebral cortex to establishing connections between …

During perceptual decisions the activity of sensory neurons covaries with choice, a
covariation often quantified as “choice-probability”. Moreover, choices are influenced by a …

Value-based decision-making requires different variables—including offer value, choice,
expected outcome, and recent history—at different times in the decision process …

Our understanding of the neural basis of perceptual decision making has been built in part
on relating co-fluctuations of single neuron responses to perceptual decisions on a trial-by …

Progress in understanding how individual animals learn will require high-throughput
standardized methods for behavioral training but also advances in the analysis of the …

Logistic classification is a simple way to make choices based on a set of factors: give each
factor a weight, sum them, and use the result to set the log odds of a random draw. This …
