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 …

To understand visual consciousness, we must understand how the brain represents
ensembles of objects at many levels of perceptual analysis. Ensemble perception refers to …

Sensory signals are highly structured in both space and time. These structural regularities in
visual information allow expectations to form about future stimulation, thereby facilitating …

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 prominent source of polarised and entrenched beliefs is confirmation bias, where
evidence against one's position is selectively disregarded. This effect is most starkly evident …

Human perceptual decisions are often described as optimal. Critics of this view have argued
that claims of optimality are overly flexible and lack explanatory power. Meanwhile …

Decision-makers often arrive at different choices when faced with repeated presentations of
the same evidence. Variability of behavior is commonly attributed to noise in the brain's …

Respiratory rhythms sustain biological life, governing the homeostatic exchange of oxygen
and carbon dioxide. Until recently, however, the influence of breathing on the brain has …

Perceptual choices depend not only on the current sensory input but also on the behavioral
context, such as the history of one's own choices. Yet, it remains unknown how such history …

The congruency sequence effect (CSE) describes the finding that congruency effects in
classic probes of selective attention (like the Stroop, Simon, and flanker tasks) are smaller …
