How do we choose one option rather than another when faced with uncertainty about the
information we receive, and the consequences of what we decide? The LATER (Linear …

Why does training on a task reduce the reaction time for performing it? New research points
to changes in white matter pathways as one likely mechanism. These pathways connect …

Decision-making is explained by psychologists through stochastic accumulator models and
by neurophysiologists through the activity of neurons believed to instantiate these models …

Voelker et al.(this issue) discuss the idea of linking white matter (WM) plasticity to improved
reaction time (RT) during training. While compelling, this argument has important confounds …

Large variability between individual response times, even in identical conditions, is a
ubiquitous property of animal behavior. However, the origins of this stochasticity and its …

Abstract Increased Reaction Time (RT) studies intra-subject variability is an emerging and
consistent finding in RT studies of schizophrenia. A group of 23 patients suffering from DSM …

By performing sensor-level analysis on magnetoencephalography (MEG) data we identified
the dynamic evolution of the functional connectivity networks during a simple visuomotor …

In a previous study, deviance in the reaction time (RT) distribution of saccades for patients
with schizophrenia was explained using an oculomotor decision model. Here, RT s of …

In perceptual decision making the brain extracts and accumulates decision evidence from a
stimulus over time and eventually makes a decision based on the accumulated evidence …

Voelker et al.(2016) discuss the intriguing possibility that faster response times after training
result from changes in white matter pathways, and propose that frontal theta activity is …
