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 …

This review focuses on covert attention and how it alters early vision. I explain why attention
is considered a selective process, the constructs of covert attention, spatial endogenous and …

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 …

In theoretical accounts of perceptual decision-making, a decision variable integrates noisy
sensory evidence and determines action through a boundary-crossing criterion. Signals …

Mounting evidence suggests that understanding how the brain encodes information and
performs computations will require studying the correlations between neurons. The recent …

Psychiatric disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, arise from abnormalities in brain
systems that underlie cognitive, emotional, and social functions. The brain is enormously …

Our first review article (Wagemans et al., 2012) on the occasion of the centennial
anniversary of Gestalt psychology focused on perceptual grouping and figure–ground …

Primary sensory cortex is thought to process incoming sensory information, while decision
variables important for driving behavior are assumed to arise downstream in the processing …

Theoretical neuroscience provides a quantitative basis for describing what nervous systems
do, determining how they function, and uncovering the general principles by which they …

We frequently need to make timely decisions based on sensory evidence that is weak,
ambiguous, or noisy resulting from conditions in the external environment (eg, a cluttered …
