SUMMARY:Perceptual decision-making: models of the decision-making process 
 and formulation of uncertainty - David Zoltowski\, University of Cambridge
DTSTART:20160531T150000Z
DTEND:20160531T160000Z
UID:TALK66422@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Daniel McNamee
DESCRIPTION:It is often necessary to incorporate uncertainty in the decisi
 on-making process to make optimal or near-optimal decisions. However\, the
  computations that underlie the decision-making process and formulation of
  uncertainty are unclear. In this talk\, I will cover recent theories and 
 experiments in perceptual decision-making. First\, I will review definitio
 ns of uncertainty and confidence. Then\, I will briefly overview common mo
 dels of the perceptual decision-making process. Finally\, in the rest of t
 he talk I will cover a series of recent experimental results investigating
  the representation of uncertainty in the human brain and the corresponden
 ce between models of perceptual decision-making and human behavior.
