Abstract
A theoretical basis was established for relating observable neural activity to observable sensory discrimination behavior in humans. A previous paper assumed that discrimination judgments concerning 2 stimuli are based on 2 final neural representations of those stimuli. The decision process theory was expanded to include observable neural activity.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
