Rapid prediction of biomechanical costs during action decisions.
When given a choice between actions that yield the same reward, we tend to prefer the one that requires the least effort. Recent studies have shown that humans are remarkably accurate at evaluating the effort of potential reaching actions and can predict the subtle energetic demand caused by the nonisotropic biomechanical properties of the arm. In the present study, we investigated the time cou...
متن کاملPrior probability and feature predictability interactively bias perceptual decisions.
Anticipating a forthcoming sensory experience facilitates perception for expected stimuli but also hinders perception for less likely alternatives. Recent neuroimaging studies suggest that expectation biases arise from feature-level predictions that enhance early sensory representations and facilitate evidence accumulation for contextually probable stimuli while suppressing alternatives. Reason...
متن کاملSpontaneous local variations in ongoing neural activity bias perceptual decisions.
Neural variability in responding to identical repeated stimuli has been related to trial-by-trial fluctuations in ongoing activity, yet the neural and perceptual consequences of these fluctuations remain poorly understood. Using functional neuroimaging, we recorded brain activity in subjects who reported perceptual decisions on an ambiguous figure, Rubin's vase-faces picture, which was briefly ...
متن کاملReaching Consensus on Decisions
We investigate how like-minded agents can reach consensus on their decisions even if they receive different information. The model used here was introduced by Aumann, and subsequently refined by Geanakoplos and Polemarchakis, Bacharach, Cave, Parikh and Krasucki ([Aum76,GP82,Cav83,Bac85,PK]). The main result is that when any number of like-minded agents communicate according to some fair protoc...
متن کاملCortical control of reaching movements.
Recent studies provide further support for the hypothesis that spatial representations of limb position, target locations, and potential motor actions are expressed in the neuronal activity in parietal cortex. In contrast, precentral cortical activity more strongly expresses processes involved in the selection and execution of motor actions. As a general conceptual framework, these processes ma...
