Perception and perceptual decision-making are strongly facilitated by prior knowledge about
the probabilistic structure of the world. While the computational benefits of using prior …

Decades of neurobiological research have disclosed the diverse manners in which the
response properties of neurons are dynamically modulated to support adaptive cognitive …

Choosing among spatially distributed options is a central challenge for animals, from
deciding among alternative potential food sources or refuges to choosing with whom to …

Decisions are made with different degrees of consistency, and this consistency can be
linked to the confidence that the best choice has been made. Theoretical work suggests that …

People are often aware of their mistakes, and report levels of confidence in their choices that
correlate with objective performance. These metacognitive assessments of decision quality …

There are few behavioral effects as ubiquitous as the speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT). From
insects to rodents to primates, the tendency for decision speed to covary with decision …
