Can the variability of neural responses provide insight into mechanisms of decision making? Anne Churchland and co-authors have developed a technique to identify a component of neural response variability that can distinguish between putative neural mechanisms of decision making. This approach may also be valuable for constraining neural mechanisms in a variety of experimental contexts. Read more in Churchland et al., Neuron 69(4).
