[HTML][HTML] Decision making as a window on cognition

MN Shadlen, R Kiani - Neuron, 2013 - cell.com
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 …

The neural systems that mediate human perceptual decision making

HR Heekeren, S Marrett, LG Ungerleider - Nature reviews neuroscience, 2008 - nature.com
Perceptual decision making is the act of choosing one option or course of action from a set
of alternatives on the basis of available sensory evidence. Thus, when we make such …

Knowing how much you don't know: a neural organization of uncertainty estimates

DR Bach, RJ Dolan - Nature reviews neuroscience, 2012 - nature.com
How we estimate uncertainty is important in decision neuroscience and has wide-ranging
implications in basic and clinical neuroscience, from computational models of optimality to …

Single-trial regression elucidates the role of prefrontal theta oscillations in response conflict

MX Cohen, JF Cavanagh - Frontiers in psychology, 2011 - frontiersin.org
In most cognitive neuroscience experiments there are many behavioral and experimental

Perceptual decision neurosciences–a model-based review

MJ Mulder, L Van Maanen, BU Forstmann - Neuroscience, 2014 - Elsevier
In this review we summarize findings published over the past 10 years focusing on the
neural correlates of perceptual decision-making. Importantly, this review highlights only …

Quality of evidence for perceptual decision making is indexed by trial-to-trial variability of the EEG

R Ratcliff, MG Philiastides, P Sajda - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009 - pnas.org
A fundamental feature of how we make decisions is that our responses are variable in the
choices we make and the time it takes to make them. This makes it impossible to determine …

Decoding the brain's algorithm for categorization from its neural implementation

ML Mack, AR Preston, BC Love - Current Biology, 2013 - cell.com
Acts of cognition can be described at different levels of analysis: what behavior should
characterize the act, what algorithms and representations underlie the behavior, and how …
