Abstract The capacity to initiate actions endogenously is critical for goal-directed behavior. Spontaneous voluntary actions are typically preceded by slow-ramping activity in medial frontal cortex that begins around two seconds before movement, whic

Mooney face stimuli for visual perception research.

In 1957, Craig Mooney published a set of human face stimuli to study perceptual closure: the formation of a coherent percept on the basis of minimal visual information. Images of this type, now known as "Mooney faces", are widely used in cognitive ps

Paradoxical Interaction between Ocular Activity, Perception, and Decision Confidence at the Threshold of Vision.

Autor: Aaron Schurger, Min-Soo Kim, Jonathan D Cohen

Publikováno v: PLoS ONE, Vol 10, Iss 5, p e0125278 (2015)

In humans and some other species perceptual decision-making is complemented by the ability to make confidence judgements about the certainty of sensory evidence. While both forms of decision process have been studied empirically, the precise relation

Findings demonstrating decision-related neural activity preceding volitional actions have dominated the discussion about how science can inform the free will debate. These discussions have largely ignored studies suggesting that decisions might be in
