The Neural Basis of Decision Making
TLDR
This work focuses on simple decisions that can be studied in the laboratory but emphasize general principles likely to extend to other settings, including deliberation and commitment.Abstract:
The study of decision making spans such varied fields as neuroscience, psychology, economics, statistics, political science, and computer science. Despite this diversity of applications, most decisions share common elements including deliberation and commitment. Here we evaluate recent progress in understanding how these basic elements of decision formation are implemented in the brain. We focus on simple decisions that can be studied in the laboratory but emphasize general principles likely to extend to other settings.read more

B.T. Thomas Yeo,Fenna M. Krienen,Jorge Sepulcre,Jorge Sepulcre,Mert R. Sabuncu,Mert R. Sabuncu,Danial Lashkari,Marisa O. Hollinshead,Marisa O. Hollinshead,Joshua L. Roffman,Jordan W. Smoller,Lilla Zöllei,Jonathan R. Polimeni,Bruce Fischl,Bruce Fischl,Hesheng Liu,Randy L. Buckner +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the organization of networks in the human cerebrum was explored using resting-state functional connectivity MRI data from 1,000 subjects and a clustering approach was employed to identify and replicate networks of functionally coupled regions across the cerebral cortex.

A sensorimotor account of vision and visual consciousness-Authors' Response-Acting out our sensory experience
J. Kevin O'Regan,Alva Noë +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose that the brain produces an internal representation of the world, and the activation of this internal representation is assumed to give rise to the experience of seeing, but it leaves unexplained how the existence of such a detailed internal representation might produce visual consciousness.
Journal ArticleDOI
A framework for studying the neurobiology of value-based decision making
TL;DR: A framework to investigate different aspects of the neurobiology of decision making is proposed to bring together recent findings in the field, highlight some of the most important outstanding problems, define a common lexicon that bridges the different disciplines that inform neuroeconomics, and point the way to future applications.

Frontal theta as a mechanism for cognitive control
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that theta band activities over the midfrontal cortex appear to reflect a common computation used for realizing the need for cognitive control, and frontal theta is a compelling candidate mechanism by which emergent processes, such as 'cognitive control', may be biophysically realized.

Neural Mechanisms for Interacting with a World Full of Action Choices
Paul Cisek,John F. Kalaska +1 more
TL;DR: An ethologically-inspired view of interactive behavior as simultaneous processes that specify potential motor actions and select between them is discussed, and how recent neurophysiological data from diverse cortical and subcortical regions appear more compatible with this parallel view than with the classical view of serial information processing stages.

Theory of Games and Economic Behavior
TL;DR: Theory of games and economic behavior as mentioned in this paper is the classic work upon which modern-day game theory is based, and it has been widely used to analyze a host of real-world phenomena from arms races to optimal policy choices of presidential candidates, from vaccination policy to major league baseball salary negotiations.

Signal detection theory and psychophysics
David M. Green,John A. Swets +1 more
TL;DR: This book discusses statistical decision theory and sensory processes in signal detection theory and psychophysics and describes how these processes affect decision-making.

Phenomenology of Perception
TL;DR: Carman as discussed by the authors described the body as an object and Mechanistic Physiology, and the experience of the body and classical psychology as a Sexed being, as well as the Synthesis of One's Own Body and Motility.

A Neural Substrate of Prediction and Reward
TL;DR: Findings in this work indicate that dopaminergic neurons in the primate whose fluctuating output apparently signals changes or errors in the predictions of future salient and rewarding events can be understood through quantitative theories of adaptive optimizing control.

The Fusiform Face Area: A Module in Human Extrastriate Cortex Specialized for Face Perception
TL;DR: The data allow us to reject alternative accounts of the function of the fusiform face area (area “FF”) that appeal to visual attention, subordinate-level classification, or general processing of any animate or human forms, demonstrating that this region is selectively involved in the perception of faces.
