Understanding how subjects perceive sensory stimuli in their environment and use this
information to guide appropriate actions is a major challenge in neuroscience. To study …

Perceptual decision-making involves multiple cognitive processes, including accumulation
of sensory evidence, planning, and executing a motor action. How these processes are …

Acting in the natural world requires not only deciding among multiple options but also
converting decisions into motor commands. How the dynamics of decision formation …

Attention mechanisms that guide visuomotor behaviors are classified into three broad types
according to their reliance on stimulus salience, current goals, and selection histories (ie …

Humans, even as infants, use cognitive strategies, such as exploration and hypothesis
testing, to learn about causal interactions in the environment. In animal learning studies …

A common approach in the study of cognition is to train subjects to perform a task that
requires a particular cognitive process to solve. Analysis of the subjects' response behavior …

Cross-species studies are important for a comprehensive understanding of brain functions.
However, direct quantitative comparison of behaviors across species presents a significant …

The energy-efficient and brain-like information processing abilities of Spiking Neural
Networks (SNNs) have attracted considerable attention, establishing them as a crucial …

Not all decisions are created equal; factors such as the difficulties or associated costs affect
the time spent to make decisions. This is variously interpreted as speed/accuracy, fast/slow …

Rational decision-makers invest more time pursuing rewards they are more confident they
will eventually receive. A series of studies have therefore used willingness to wait for …
