报告摘要：
Our choices can be guided by both perceptual information about the environment (what is the food in front of me?) and value-related information about our subjective preferences (do I like it?). Theoretical accounts suggest that both types of decisions involve neural computations accumulating evidence for the choice alternatives; however, little is known about the overlap or differences in the neurocomputational mechanisms underlying perceptual versus value-based choice. In my talk, I will present a series of studies designed to address this issue. An EEG experiment identifies candidate neural oscillatory signals for evidence accumulation processes in both domains. A subsequent tACS experiment demonstrates that some of these oscillatory processes are causally required for inter-regional communication that drives value-based choices, and relate to fronto-parietal effective connectivity as ascertained with concurrent tACS-fMRI. Further model-based fMRI work identifies mechanisms by which neural value representations in the ventro-medial prefrontal cortex relate to behavioural goals for both value-based and perceptual decisions. Taken together, these studies outline a unified neuro-computational framework for both perceptual and value-based decision-making.
