In the well-known thought experiment known as the prisoner's dilemma, one individual has to decide whether to stay silent or talk to the police about their crime based on how they anticipate an ...

Decisions run our lives. From the moment we wake up and decide to get out of bed to the moment we turn off the light and decide to sleep, we make decisions. Those who can make hard decisions are ...

Neuroscientists have revealed how sensory input is transformed into motor action across multiple brain regions in mice. The research, conducted at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at UCL, shows that ...

Neuroscientists have revealed how sensory input is transformed into motor action across multiple brain regions in mice. The research shows that decision-making is a global process across the brain ...

A key to understanding the brain lies in unpacking how hundreds of interconnected brain areas process information that leads to various outputs. In order to try to understand this, researchers ...

The first complete activity map of the brain has been unveiled by a large international collaboration of neuroscientists. The International Brain Laboratory (IBL) researchers published their findings ...

We’re constantly making decisions. If I get the pumpkin spice latte, would it make me happier than my usual black coffee? If I go the scenic route on a trip, would it be worth the extra time? Past and ...

A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain processes different cues, such as sights and sounds, during decision making. The findings from Princeton neuroscientists may one day improve how ...

Each circle is a neuron, only those that are significantly active are shown at each point of time and the size of the circle is scaled with the amount of activity of that neuron. See research paper in ...
