Perceptual decision making is the process by which animals detect, discriminate, and
categorize information from the senses. Over the past two decades, understanding how …

Visual search, a vital task for humans and animals, has also become a common and
important tool for studying many topics central to active vision and cognition ranging from …

The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) receives diverse inputs and is involved in a dizzying
array of behaviors. These many behaviors could rely on distinct categories of neurons …

During decision making, neurons in multiple brain regions exhibit responses that are
correlated with decisions,,,,,. However, it remains uncertain whether or not various forms of …

For many years there has been a debate about the role of the parietal lobe in the generation
of behavior. Does it generate movement plans (intention) or choose objects in the …

Attention exhibits characteristic neural signatures in brain regions that process sensory
signals. An important area of future research is to understand the nature of top-down signals …

Reflecting recent changes in the way cognition and the brain are studied, this thoroughly
updated fourth edition of this bestselling textbook provides a comprehensive and student …

The posterior parietal cortex and the prefrontal cortex are associated with eye movements
and visual attention, but their specific contributions are poorly understood. We compared the …

Posterior parietal cortex (PPC) activity correlates with monkeys' decisions during visual
discrimination and categorization tasks. However, recent work has questioned whether …

Numerous brain regions have been shown to have neural correlates of gradually
accumulating evidence for decision-making, but the causal roles of these regions in …
