Recent animal research indicates that dopamine and serotonin, neuromodulators
traditionally linked to appetitive and aversive processes, are also involved in sensory …

Legged robots are very promising for use in real-world applications, but their operation in
narrow spaces is still challenging. One solution for enhancing their environmental …

To interact successfully with diverse sensory environments, we must adapt our decision
processes to account for time constraints and prior probabilities. The full set of decision …

An animal's decision depends not only on incoming sensory evidence but also on its
fluctuating internal state. This state embodies multiple cognitive factors, such as arousal and …

When making decisions, people tend to shift their attention back and forth between stimuli,
choosing options that they look at more overall and immediately before their responses …

Neural mechanisms of perceptual decision making have been extensively studied in
experimental settings that mimic stable environments with repeating stimuli, fixed rules, and …

Working memory (WM) and decision-making (DM) are fundamental cognitive functions
involving a distributed interacting network of brain areas, with the posterior parietal cortex …

A surprising finding of recent studies in mouse is the dominance of widespread movement-
related activity throughout the brain, including in early sensory areas. In awake subjects …

A broad range of decision-making processes involve gradual accumulation of evidence over
time, but the neural circuits responsible for this computation are not yet established. Recent …

Every decision we make is accompanied by a sense of confidence about its likely outcome.
This sense informs subsequent behavior, such as investing more—whether time, effort, or …
