Data from: Sensory adaptation and pupil-linked arousal support flexible evidence accumulation during perceptual decision making
Abstract
Effective decision-making in dynamic environments requires flexible evidence accumulation. Although models often express this flexibility as a property of the accumulator, its implementation in the brain may involve adaptive mechanisms operating at other stages of the decision process. We examined two such mechanisms: 1) stimulus-specific sensory adaptation at the level of evidence encoding; and 2) arousal-related neuromodulation, which could, in principle, affect both evidence encoding and accumulation. This repository includes all of the behavioral, neural, and pupillometric data from this study.
