Journal ArticleDOI
A Role for Neural Integrators in Perceptual Decision Making
TL;DR: A computational model of the decision process is developed using ensembles of neurons whose spiking activity mimics neurons recorded in the extrastriate visual cortex and a sensorimotor association area of the parietal lobe to instantiate the hypothesis that neurons in sensorim motor association areas compute the time integral of sensory signals from the visual cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstimulation of macaque area LIP affects decision-making in a motion discrimination task
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the discharge of LIP neurons is causally related to decision formation in the discrimination task and never directly evoked saccades, nor did it change reaction times in a simple saccade task.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstimulation of visual cortex affects the speed of perceptual decisions
TL;DR: It is reported that in a two-alternative task, the activity of MT neurons is interpreted as evidence for one direction and against the other, and during the formation of a decision, sensory evidence for competing propositions is compared and accumulates to a decision-making threshold.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for time-variant decision making
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a time‐variant version of the diffusion model can explain the psychometric function, the mean response times and the shape of the response time distributions, and it is suggested that the brain trades off speed and accuracy not only by adjusting parameters between trials but also by dynamic adjustments during an ongoing decision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stochastic models of decisions about motion direction: behavior and physiology
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a relatively large class of models, both with and without temporal integration and both stationary and time-variant could account for the behavioral data and the biological plausibility of the model parameters is discussed.
