On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The neural mechanisms underlying decision-making are typically inferred from the average activity from sequentially recorded single neurons, which obscures important aspects of decision-making dynamics. I will show that covert decision variables (DV) can be tracked dynamically on single behavioral trials via simultaneous recording of large neural populations in primate motor cortex. I will also show—in nonhuman primates under the conditions of our experiments—that decisions are encoded by relatively stationary populations of neurons, not by sequences of activity passed from neuron-to-neuron.
