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 …

Sequential sampling models assume that people make speeded decisions by gradually
accumulating noisy information until a threshold of evidence is reached. In cognitive …

What happens in our brain when we make a decision? What triggers a neuron to send out a
signal? What is the neural code? This textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning …

Rapid advances have recently been made in understanding how value-based decision-
making processes are implemented in the brain. We integrate neuroeconomic and …

In many situations, decision makers need to negotiate between the competing demands of
response speed and response accuracy, a dilemma generally known as the speed …

Perceptual choices depend not only on the current sensory input but also on the behavioral
context, such as the history of one's own choices. Yet, it remains unknown how such history …

Decision making has recently emerged as a central theme in neurophysiological studies of
cognition, and experimental and computational work has led to the proposal of a cortical …

Sequential sampling models have provided a dominant theoretical framework guiding
computational and neurophysiological investigations of perceptual decision-making. While …

Our understanding of cognition has been advanced by two traditionally non-overlapping and
non-interacting groups. Mathematical psychologists rely on behavioral data to evaluate …

The activity of neurons in the brain is noisy in that their firing times are random when they
are firing at a given mean rate. This introduces a random or stochastic property into brain …
