Biologically, the fundamental computational task carried out by the human brain is the translation of perception into action. To perform this translation, attentional processes select relevant stimuli from the environment and decision processes then identify the selected stimuli. This project develops an integrated theory of attention and decision making in simple visual tasks, which will help us understand how these tasks are carried out in the brain. Understanding how these tasks are performed biologically will aid in the design of autonomous information-gathering and decision-making agents whose actions simulate human behaviour.

从生物学上讲，人脑执行的基本计算任务是将感知转化为行动。为了执行这种翻译，注意过程从环境和决策过程中选择相关刺激，然后确定所选刺激。 该项目在简单的视觉任务中开发了关注和决策的综合理论，这将有助于我们了解如何在大脑中执行这些任务。 了解这些任务是如何在生物学上执行的，将有助于设计自动信息收集和决策代理，其行动模拟了人类行为。
