An examination of the link between the vigor with which we move and the value that the
brain assigns to the goal of the movement. Why do we reflexively run toward people we love …

Cognitive capacities afford contingent associations between sensory information and
behavioral responses. We studied this problem using an olfactory delayed match to sample …

The lateral prefrontal cortex is involved in the integration of multiple types of information,
including working memory and motor preparation. However, it is not known how …

Evidence indicates the significance of the fronto-parietal regions and inertia sensory
processing from previous trials in cognitive flexibility. However, how flexible cognitive …

In this Element, a framework is proposed in which it is assumed that visual selection is the
result of the interaction between top-down, bottom-up and selection-history factors. The …

The lateral prefrontal cortex of primates (lPFC) plays a central role in complex cognitive
behavior, in decision-making as well as in guiding top-down attention. However, how and …

Studies on the neuronal correlates of decision making have demonstrated that the
continuous flow of sensorial information is integrated by sensorimotor brain areas in order to …

Abstract Frontal Eye Field (FEF) neurons discriminate between relevant and irrelevant visual
stimuli and their response magnitude predicts conscious perception. How this is reflected in …

Efficiently mapping sensory stimuli onto motor programs is crucial for rapidly choosing
appropriate behavioral responses. While neuronal mechanisms underlying simple, one-to …

Evidence accumulation is a computational framework that accounts for behavior as well as
the dynamics of individual neurons involved in decision making. Linking these two levels of …
