Reppert T, Heitz R, Schall J
Cell Rep . 2023 Nov; 42(11):113422. PMID: 37950871
The medial frontal cortex (MFC) plays an important but disputed role in speed-accuracy trade-off (SAT). In samples of neural spiking in the supplementary eye field (SEF) in the MFC simultaneous...

Reppert T, Servant M, Heitz R, Schall J
J Neurophysiol . 2018 Apr; 120(1):372-384. PMID: 29668383
Balancing the speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT) is necessary for successful behavior. Using a visual search task with interleaved cues emphasizing speed or accuracy, we recently reported diverse contributions of frontal eye...

Front Neurosci . 2014 Jun; 8:150. PMID: 24966810
There are few behavioral effects as ubiquitous as the speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT). From insects to rodents to primates, the tendency for decision speed to covary with decision accuracy seems an...

Heitz R, Schall J
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci . 2013 Sep; 368(1628):20130071. PMID: 24018731
The stochastic accumulation framework provides a mechanistic, quantitative account of perceptual decision-making and how task performance changes with experimental manipulations. Importantly, it provides an elegant account of the speed-accuracy trade-off...

Heitz R, Schall J
Neuron . 2012 Nov; 76(3):616-28. PMID: 23141072
Intelligent agents balance speed of responding with accuracy of deciding. Stochastic accumulator models commonly explain this speed-accuracy tradeoff by strategic adjustment of response threshold. Several laboratories identify specific neurons in...

Purcell B, Heitz R, Cohen J, Schall J
J Neurophysiol . 2012 Sep; 108(10):2737-50. PMID: 22956785
Discharge rate modulation of frontal eye field (FEF) neurons has been identified with a representation of visual search salience (physical conspicuity and behavioral relevance) and saccade preparation. We tested whether...

Reinhart R, Heitz R, Purcell B, Weigand P, Schall J, Woodman G
J Neurosci . 2012 Jun; 32(22):7711-22. PMID: 22649249
Although areas of frontal cortex are thought to be critical for maintaining information in visuospatial working memory, the event-related potential (ERP) index of maintenance is found over posterior cortex in...

Schall J, Purcell B, Heitz R, Logan G, Palmeri T
Eur J Neurosci . 2011 Jun; 33(11):1991-2002. PMID: 21645095
We review a new computational model developed to understand how evidence about stimulus salience in visual search is translated into a saccade command. The model uses the activity of visually...

Purcell B, Heitz R, Cohen J, Schall J, Logan G, Palmeri T
Psychol Rev . 2010 Sep; 117(4):1113-43. PMID: 20822291
Stochastic accumulator models account for response time in perceptual decision-making tasks by assuming that perceptual evidence accumulates to a threshold. The present investigation mapped the firing rate of frontal eye...
