Decision Making and Sequential Sampling from Memory
Published in Neuron (Cambridge, Mass.) (01-06-2016)“…Decisions take time, and as a rule more difficult decisions take more time. But this only raises the question of what consumes the time. For decisions informed…”

Choice Certainty Is Informed by Both Evidence and Decision Time
Published in Neuron (Cambridge, Mass.) (17-12-2014)“…“Degree of certainty” refers to the subjective belief, prior to feedback, that a decision is correct. A reliable estimate of certainty is essential for…”

A Neural Implementation of Wald’s Sequential Probability Ratio Test
Published in Neuron (Cambridge, Mass.) (18-02-2015)“…Difficult decisions often require evaluation of samples of evidence acquired sequentially. A sensible strategy is to accumulate evidence, weighted by its…”

Effects of Cortical Microstimulation on Confidence in a Perceptual Decision
Published in Neuron (Cambridge, Mass.) (20-08-2014)“…Decisions are often associated with a degree of certainty, or confidence—an estimate of the probability that the chosen option will be correct. Recent…”

Bounded Integration in Parietal Cortex Underlies Decisions Even When Viewing Duration Is Dictated by the Environment
Published in The Journal of neuroscience (19-03-2008)“…Decisions about sensory stimuli are often based on an accumulation of evidence in time. When subjects control stimulus duration, the decision terminates when…”
