Racing With Neurons

This article reviews how my laboratory discovered and implemented the stop signal task with the Logan race model to elucidate how central circuits control the initiation of gaze shifts. The novelty of the approach and the clarity of the findings inspired a collaboration with Gordon Logan and Thomas Palmeri that led to the formulation of an interactive race model, which articulates the relationship between the abstract formal race model and the structure and function of brain circuits. This work is situated in a larger project that uses neural properties to address mimicry between psychological models and uses psychological models to explain what neurons do. The interaction of neuroscience and psychology enriches both
