Abstract
Many decisions require complex information to be integrated, forcing the
brain to process multiple relevant elements. One way to do this is
sequential: dividing the decision process into multiple successive
stages that can be executed separately. An important alternative, namely
processing elements in parallel, often sacrifices accuracy for speed. We
investigated this tradeoff using fine time-scale magnetoencephalographic
analysis of cortical representations. We found three sources of
individual differences in the temporal structure of the integration
process: sequential representation, partial reinstatement of relevant
information and early computation, each of which had a dissociable
effect on how subjects handled problem complexity and temporal
constraints.
This is work with Eran Eldar, Gyung Jin Bae, Zeb Kurth-Nelson and Ray
Dolan.
