The debate on evidence accumulation in decisions continues, well done to @laurencf.bsky.social and @danfeuerriegel.bsky.social for this inspiring preprint validating our earlier work on neural correlates of evidence accumulation in value-based decisions.
Interested in how we make preference-driven decisions, and how this is implemented in the brain?
We report that neural correlates of evidence accumulation (CPP, Mu/Beta) are also observed during value-based decisions.

Tracing the neural trajectories of evidence accumulation and motor preparation processes during voluntary decisions
Voluntary decisions have previously been described by where they arise in the brain and how actions corresponding to one's choice are prepared. However, the processes by which these internally guided ...

A recent report of a brain injury during a clinical trial using transcranial ultrasound (TUS) has prompted the case reviewers Kim Butts Pauly and @efouragnan.bsky.social to make their concerns public. If you are interested in TUS read their letter here: www.elsa-fouragnan.com/blog shorturl.at/SUmix

Very nice new framework for social games flexibly combining continuous social interactions with their sensorimotor implementation. A wonderful work of @violapriesemann.bsky.social and colleagues.

Congratulations @mkwittmann.bsky.social and all the authors, quite a brilliant paradigm and fascinating set of studies about how humans may simplify in their brain the complex world of social interactions
New paper from our lab now in @nature.com . We show that our brains use basis functions or "building blocks" to navigate social interactions. Rather than tracking every individual separately, social information is compressed into patterns that can be flexibly combined. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Basis functions for complex social decisions in dorsomedial frontal cortex - Nature
A study combining group decision-making tasks with fMRI shows that the brain’s dorsomedial prefrontal cortex uses basis functions, similar to those in the visual, motor and spatial domains, to re...
