We link cognitive models of categorization, attention, and cognitive control with neurophysiological data. We formulated competing stochastic models of perceptual decisions and control over those decisions. These models are tested by fitting them to behavior of humans and macaque monkeys. The models are further evaluated by contrasting the accumulation of evidence in the models with the changing patterns of single unit neural activity recorded from awake behaving monkeys. One focus of this project has been stopping and stepping decisions to move the eyes to a target object in the visual display.
