The readiness potential—a long-established neural precursor of voluntary action claimed to precede the onset of the conscious decision to move—is absent, or at least significantly reduced, for deliberate decisions.

Initial confidence and choice in a decision, and their potential revision, arise from a common mechanism that challenges models that claim confidence and decision processes are dissociated.

During perceptual decision-making, some errors on easy decisions (lapses) are not simply mistakes, but instead reflect strategic decisions to explore actions associated with uncertain rewards.

In environments that fluctuate over the course of deliberation, optimal decision strategies display novel dynamics that can explain human response behaviors better than commonly used alternatives.

Simultaneous EEG-fMRI reveals neural representations of decision confidence unfolding prior to explicit perceptual choices, in a region of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex typically linked to reward processing and value-based decisions.

The deliberation involved in simple preference decisions, such as those between two familiar snacks, depends on the hippocampus.

The 3R framework outlines three fundamental processes in motor learning and provides a novel perspective on understanding how we acquire, adapt, and retain complex motor skills.

Noise-averaging cooperation (NAC) is a novel theory for the emergence of microbial cross-feeding by which noisy intracellular metabolism can promote cooperation and cross-feeding among cells.
