The influence of attentional selection on perceptual decision making

该项目旨在测试注意选择在人类决策中的因果作用。这一目标将通过将认知神经科学的多模式技术相结合来实现，包括MRI、EEG和同步TMS-EEG，同时参与者执行决策任务。其结果将是对注意力影响决策的神经过程的机械性理解。预计结果将带来重大好处，例如确定可以提高注意力和减轻糟糕决策的负面影响的战略。

This project aims to test the causal role of attentional selection in human decision-making. This aim will be achieved by interfacing multi-modal techniques from cognitive neuroscience including MRI, EEG, and simultaneous TMS-EEG, while participants perform a decision-making task. The outcome will be a mechanistic understanding of the neural processes by which attention influences decision-making. The outcomes are expected to provide significant benefits, such as the identification of strategies that can enhance attention and mitigate the negative effects of poor decision making.
