Neuroscientists today can measure activity from more neurons than ever before, and are
facing the challenge of connecting these brain-wide neural recordings to computation and …

There is growing interest in diffusion models to represent the cognitive and neural processes
of speeded decision making. Sequential-sampling models like the diffusion model have a …

Hippocampal neurons encode physical variables,,,,,–such as space or auditory frequency in
cognitive maps. In addition, functional magnetic resonance imaging studies in humans have …

Electroencephalography (EEG) has been instrumental in making discoveries about
cognition, brain function, and dysfunction. However, where do EEG signals come from and …

Escaping from imminent danger is an instinctive behaviour that is fundamental for survival,
and requires the classification of sensory stimuli as harmless or threatening. The absence of …

Neural activity throughout the cortex is correlated with perceptual decisions, but inactivation
studies suggest that only a small number of areas are necessary for these behaviors. Here …

Prefrontal cortex is thought to have a fundamental role in flexible, context-dependent
behaviour, but the exact nature of the computations underlying this role remains largely …

Classical models of perceptual decision-making assume that subjects use a single,
consistent strategy to form decisions, or that decision-making strategies evolve slowly over …

There are few behavioral effects as ubiquitous as the speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT). From
insects to rodents to primates, the tendency for decision speed to covary with decision …

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