TLDR
A theoretical account for the time-courses of these two processes, whose instabilities are the basis of decision making, shows how the cross-over from spatial averaging for fast saccades to selection for slow saccade arises from the balance between excitatory and inhibitory processes.About:

Decision Making in Recurrent Neuronal Circuits
TL;DR: In this paper, a cortical circuit mechanism of elemental decision computations is proposed, which depends on slow recurrent synaptic excitation balanced by fast feedback inhibition, which not only instantiates attractor states for forming categorical choices but also long transients for gradually accumulating evidence in favor of or against alternative options.

Dynamical Systems Approaches to Cognition
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the embodied view of cognition emphasizes the close link of cognition to the sensory and motor surfaces and the structured environments in which these are immersed, and that important concepts are missed, including most importantly the concepts of stability and instability.
Journal ArticleDOI
The what, where, and why of priority maps and their interactions with visual working memory
TL;DR: This work argues that priority maps play a much broader role in controlling goal‐directed behavior and proposes that this function is to communicate a goal state to the different effector systems, thereby guiding behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redundancy, self-motion, and motor control
TL;DR: A process model of movement generation that accounts for the kinematics of goal-directed pointing movements performed with a redundant arm is proposed, and it is discovered that joint velocities contain a substantial amount of self-motion that does not move the end effector.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual mental imagery and visual perception: structural equivalence revealed by scanning processes.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that mental images and perceived stimuli are represented similarly and can be processed in the same way in both visual mental imagery and visual perception.

The Cognitive Neurosciences
TL;DR: The fourth edition of The Cognitive Neurosciences continues to chart new directions in the study of the biologic underpinnings of complex cognition -the relationship between the structural and physiological mechanisms of the nervous system and the psychological reality of the mind as discussed by the authors.

On the Ability to Inhibit Thought and Action: A Theory of an Act of Control
Gordon D. Logan,William B. Cowan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a theory of the inhibition of thought and action to account for people's performance in situations with explicit stop signals, and apply it to several sets of data.

Dynamics of pattern formation in lateral-inhibition type neural fields
TL;DR: The dynamics of pattern formation is studied for lateral-inhibition type homogeneous neural fields with general connections and it is proved that there are five types of pattern dynamics.

The time course of perceptual choice: The leaky, competing accumulator model.
Marius Usher,James L. McClelland +1 more
TL;DR: The time course of perceptual choice is discussed in a model of gradual, leaky, stochastic, and competitive information accumulation in nonlinear decision units that captures choice behavior regardless of the number of alternatives, and explains a complex pattern of visual and contextual priming in visual word identification.
