Cognition can be defined as computation over meaningful representations in the brain to
produce adaptive behaviour. There are two views on the relationship between cognition and …

Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition, and little is known about its
neurobiology. Much of autism research has focused on the social, communication and …

When experts are immersed in a task, do their brains prioritize task-related activity? Most
efforts to understand neural activity during well-learned tasks focus on cognitive …

Sequential sampling models assume that people make speeded decisions by gradually
accumulating noisy information until a threshold of evidence is reached. In cognitive …

Life is characterized by a myriad of complex dynamic processes allowing organisms to grow,
reproduce, and evolve. Physical approaches for describing systems out of thermodynamic …

Perceptual decision making is the process by which animals detect, discriminate, and
categorize information from the senses. Over the past two decades, understanding how …

A decision is a commitment to a proposition or plan of action based on information and
values associated with the possible outcomes. The process operates in a flexible timeframe …

Most organisms facing a choice between multiple stimuli will look repeatedly at them,
presumably implementing a comparison process between the items' values. Little is known …

How do we make decisions when confronted with several alternatives (eg, on a supermarket
shelf)? Previous work has shown that accumulator models, such as the drift-diffusion model …

Whereas progress has been made in the identification of neural signals related to rapid,
cued decisions,–, less is known about how brains guide and terminate more ethologically …
