Novel multivariate pattern classification analyses have enabled the prediction of decision
outcomes from brain activity prior to decision-makers' reported awareness. These findings …

The ability to revise one's certainty or confidence in a preceding choice is a critical feature of
adaptive decision-making but the neural mechanisms underpinning this metacognitive …

Our choice is influenced by choices we made in the past, but the mechanism responsible for
the choice bias remains elusive. Here we show that the history-dependent choice bias can …

A long-lasting challenge in neuroscience has been to find a set of principles that could be
used to organize the brain into distinct areas with specific functions. Recent studies have …

Under uncertainty, the brain uses previous knowledge to transform sensory inputs into the
percepts on which decisions are based. When the uncertainty lies in the timing of sensory …

Working memory, a well-studied cognitive function, refers to the capacity to remember things
for a short time. Which neurons in the brain implement this function and how exactly they do …

A stimulus held in working memory is perceived as contracted toward the average stimulus.
This contraction bias has been extensively studied in psychophysics, but little is known …

Recent studies have demonstrated that prestimulus alpha-band activity substantially
influences perception of near-threshold stimuli. Here, we studied the influence of …

The ability to associate stimuli across time and sensory modalities endows animals and
humans with many of the complex, learned behaviors. For successful performance …

Asynchronous arrival of multisensory information at the periphery is a ubiquitous property of
signals in the natural environment due to differences in the propagation time of light and …
