The neocortex is a complex neurobiological system with many interacting regions. How
these regions work together to subserve flexible behavior and cognition has become …

The question of whether the early visual cortex (EVC) is involved in visual mental imagery
remains a topic of debate. In this paper, I propose that the inconsistency in findings can be …

Decision-makers objectively commit to a definitive choice, yet at the subjective level, human
decisions appear to be associated with a degree of uncertainty. Whether decisions are …

Quantifying the amount, content and direction of communication between brain regions is
key to understanding brain function. Traditional methods to analyze brain activity based on …

Perceptual decisions depend on the ability to exploit available sensory information in order
to select the most adaptive option from a set of alternatives. Such decisions depend on the …

Many decisions under uncertainty entail the temporal accumulation of evidence that informs
about the state of the environment. When environments are subject to hidden changes in …

Humans and other animals tend to repeat or alternate their previous choices, even when
judging sensory stimuli presented in a random sequence. It is unclear if and how sensory …

Neural representations of perceptual decision formation that are abstracted from specific
motor requirements have previously been identified in humans using non-invasive …

Internal predictions about the sensory consequences of self-motion, encoded by corollary
discharge, are ubiquitous in the animal kingdom, including for fruit flies, dragonflies, and …

Cortical areas seem to form a hierarchy of intrinsic timescales, but the relevance of this
organization for cognitive behavior remains unknown. In particular, decisions requiring the …
