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 …

Consider the range of social behaviours we engage in every day. In each case, there are a
multitude of unknowns, reflecting the many sources of uncertainty inherent to social …

Why has computational psychiatry yet to influence routine clinical practice? One reason may
be that it has neglected context and temporal dynamics in the models of certain mental …

Translating advances in neuroscience into benefits for patients with mental illness presents
enormous challenges because it involves both the most complex organ, the brain, and its …

The subthalamic nucleus (STN) of the basal ganglia appears to have a potent role in action
and cognition. Anatomical and imaging studies show that different frontal cortical areas …

Current reinforcement-learning models often assume simplified decision processes that do
not fully reflect the dynamic complexities of choice processes. Conversely, sequential …

Psychological models of value-based decision-making describe how subjective values are
formed and mapped to single choices. Recently, additional efforts have been made to …

The recent years have witnessed a dramatic increase in the use of reinforcement learning
(RL) models in social, cognitive and affective neuroscience. This approach, in combination …

Investigations into the neurophysiological underpinnings of control suggest that frontal theta
activity is increased with the need for control. However, these studies typically show this link …

An organism's survival depends on its ability to learn about its environment and to make
adaptive decisions in the service of achieving the best possible outcomes in that …
