Investigation into the neural and computational bases of decision-making has proceeded in
two parallel but distinct streams. Perceptual decision-making (PDM) is concerned with how …

Human performance on perceptual classification tasks approaches that of an ideal observer,
but economic decisions are often inconsistent and intransitive, with preferences reversing …

… a small subset (k) of values that are maintained in a memory buffer (20); but if so, performance
should have stopped improving with sequence length, unless the buffer capacity, k, is as …

… k were aimed at identifying how information in samples 2–8 was upweighted or … To this
end, we defined a new quantity d(DU)k that encoded the absolute dissimilarity in decision …

… In experiment 2, we fitted K = 6 data points per participant. Data from experiment 2 were
not fitted using separate parameters for the two presentation speed conditions due to …

Previous research suggests that voting in elections is influenced by appearance-based
personality inferences (eg, whether a political candidate has a competent-looking face). However…

10.7554/eLife.46331.001 Perceptual choices depend not only on the current sensory input
but also on the behavioral context, such as the history of one’s own choices. Yet, it remains …

… For the LCA model, in preliminary investigations (Tsetsos, 2008), we found predictions to
be robust to the value of the global inhibition and to the value function used, as long as it is …

A key computation underlying perceptual decisions is the temporal integration of "evidence"
in favor of different states of the world. Studies from psychology and neuroscience have …

People's assessments of the state of the world often deviate systematically from the information
available to them [1]. Such biases can originate from people's own decisions: committing …
