Human and non-human animal behavior is highly malleable and adapts successfully to
internal and external demands. Such behavioral success stands in striking contrast to the …

10.7554/eLife.23232.001 Decision-makers often arrive at different choices when faced with
repeated presentations of the same evidence. Variability of behavior is commonly attributed …

Abstract Changes in pupil size at constant light levels reflect the activity of neuromodulatory
brainstem centers that control global brain state. These endogenously driven pupil dynamics …

The extent to which different cognitive processes are “embodied” is widely debated. Previous
studies have implicated sensorimotor regions such as lateral intraparietal (LIP) area in …

10.7554/eLife.37321.001 Decision bias is traditionally conceptualized as an internal
reference against which sensory evidence is compared. Instead, we show that individuals …

Removing power line noise and other frequency‐specific artifacts from electrophysiological
data without affecting neural signals remains a challenging task. Recently, an approach was …

Conscious perception sometimes fluctuates strongly, even when the sensory input is constant.
For example, in motion-induced blindness (MIB), a salient visual target surrounded by a …

Multiscale Entropy (MSE) is used to characterize the temporal irregularity of neural time
series patterns. Due to its’ presumed sensitivity to non-linear signal characteristics, MSE is …

Visual perception starts with localized filters that subdivide the image into fragments that
undergo separate analyses. The visual system has to reconstruct objects by grouping image …

The cerebral cortex continuously undergoes changes in its state, which are manifested in
transient modulations of the cortical power spectrum. Cortical state changes also occur at full …
