Predicting perceptual decision biases from early brain activity.
Perceptual decision making is believed to be driven by the accumulation of sensory evidence following stimulus encoding. More controversially, some studies report that neural activity preceding the stimulus also affects the decision process. We used a multivariate pattern classification approach for the analysis of the human electroencephalogram (EEG) to decode choice outcomes in a perceptual d...
متن کاملDo perceptual biases emerge early or late in visual processing? Decision-biases in motion perception.
Visual perception is strongly influenced by contextual information. A good example is reference repulsion, where subjective reports about the direction of motion of a stimulus are significantly biased by the presence of an explicit reference. These perceptual biases could arise early, during sensory encoding, or alternatively, they may reflect decision-related processes occurring relatively lat...
متن کاملPredicting Perceptual Performance From Neural Activity
A key aim of neuroergonomics is to gain an understanding of human neural function in relation to cognitive and behavioral performance in real world tasks. Here we investigated the relationship between neural activity and human performance in a rapid perceptual categorization task. We compared two different modalities to indirectly measure neural activity, functional magnetic resonance imaging (...
متن کاملSignal Detection Measures Cannot Distinguish Perceptual Biases from Response Biases.
A common conceptualization of signal detection theory (SDT) holds that if the effect of an experimental manipulation is truly perceptual, then it will necessarily be reflected in a change in d' rather than a change in the measure of response bias. Thus, if an experimental manipulation affects the measure of bias, but not d', then it is safe to conclude that the manipulation in question did not ...
متن کاملInternal signal correlates neural populations and biases perceptual decision reports.
In perceptual decision-making tasks the activity of neurons in frontal and posterior parietal cortices covaries more with perceptual reports than with the physical properties of stimuli. This relationship is revealed when subjects have to make behavioral choices about weak or uncertain stimuli. If knowledge about stimulus onset time is available, decision making can be based on accumulation of ...
