The roles of frontal and parietal neurons in informing perceptual choices made under urgent temporal uncertainty

abstract

Time pressure often urges us to choose between multiple sensory alternatives before we can fully ascertain which option is aligned with reference to our internal goals. Indeed, we make rapid eye movements approximately every 300 milliseconds; however, visual stimuli often appear or change within our visual field without regard to this saccadic eye movement schedule. Consequently, each frequently recurring choice of where to look next is guided to a varying degree that depends on how much time is available to perceptually process (e.g., acquire, evaluate, prioritize) incoming sensory stimuli prior to its impending execution. An outstanding goal of systems neuroscience is to elucidate the neurobiological bases by which incoming sensory information guides perceptual choice behavior.
