Recent work by Siems et al. shows that the brain rhythmically samples competing alternatives through covert spatial attention. This challenges continuous models of decision-making and suggests that evaluation is temporally structured by oscillatory dynamics, with attention determining when alternatives are accessed rather than reflecting changes in their representations.

How do large-scale brain networks interact to enable cognition? Correlated oscillations, a mechanism for inter-areal interactions, can be expressed as phase coherence or amplitude co-fluctuations. Whi...

This book offers reports on new findings relating to mechanisms of decisions, modeling of decision making and impaired decision making upon diseases.

Mounting evidence indicates that decisions emerge from a competition between populations of neurons encoding the different choice options. Theoretical models propose that the outcome of this competiti...
