A paper of which I am particularly proud has recently been accepted for the Journal of Neuroscience. The paper introduces a new “single-trial” modeling method (the Single-Trial Linear Ballistic Accumulator) that can be used to obtain estimates for a decision-making process on a single trial. Using this method we showed that pre-supplementary motor area and anterior cingulate cortex have separable roles in a speed-accuracy trade-off task.
