The Role of Attention in Multi Attribute Decision Making

Aaron L. Sampson, You-Ping Yang, Marius Usher, Dino J. Levy, Ernst Niebur, Veit Stuphorn

The paper investigates how attention influences multi-attribute decision-making in monkeys by analyzing neural activity in the pre-supplementary motor area.

Nature Communications · Nov 29, 2025Peer-reviewedNeuroscience

Overt visual attention and value computation in complex risky choice

Xinhao Fan, Jacob Elsey, Aurélien J. G. Wyngaard, Aaron L. Sampson, You-Ping Yang, Erik E. Emeric, Moshe Glickman, Marius Usher, Dino J. Levy, Veit Stuphorn, Ernst Niebur

This study investigates decision-making under uncertainty by measuring overt attention and comparing models to predict choices in simple and complex tasks.

The influence of stereopsis on visual saliency in a proto-object based model of selective attention

Takeshi Uejima, Elena Mancinelli, Ernst Niebur, Ralph Etienne‐Cummings

This study develops a proto-object based model of selective attention that incorporates stereoscopic vision, showing improved prediction of human eye movements when stereoscopic information is considered.

The cellular architecture of memory modules in Drosophila supports stochastic input integration

Omar A. Hafez, Benjamin Escribano, Rouven L Ziegler, Jan J. Hirtz, Ernst Niebur, Jan Pielage

The paper models the Drosophila mushroom body to show how sparse synaptic connectivity enables efficient memory storage through stochastic input integration.

Integration of Odor-Induced Activity of Kenyon Cells in an Electrotonically Compact Drosophila Mushroom Body Output Neuron (MBON)

Omar A. Hafez, Benjamin Escribano, Jan Pielage, Ernst Niebur

The paper models the integration of odor-induced activity in Drosophila MBON-3 by simulating synaptic inputs and shows its electrotonic compactness.
