Two-stage dynamic signal detection: a theory of choice, decision time, and confidence. (2010, background): “…models are a good representation of the neural mechanisms underlying sensory decisions (Gold & Shadlen, 2007), which appear to be embedded in the sensory-motor circuitry in the brain (Hanes & Schall, 1996; Kim & Shadlen, 1999; Romo, Hernandez, Zainos, Lemus, & Brody, 2002; Shadlen & Newsome, 2001).”
Perceptual decision making in less than 30 milliseconds (2010, unknown): “What the model does show, however, is that such a time scale for sensory processing is consistent with all the behavioral data in the task — e.g., RT distributions, choice preferences under bias, etc. — and with the oculomotor activity observed in FEF.”
