A team of neuroscientists and engineers at Stanford University has developed a system that can display the neural process of decision-making in real time, including the mental process of switching between options before expressing a final choice.
These scientists and engineers developed a system that read and decoded the brain cell activity of monkeys while they were asked to identify whether an animation of moving dots was shifting slightly to the left or right.
The system revealed the monkeys' ongoing decision-making process in real time, with the ebb and flow of indecision along the way, the paper said.
Subsequently, the researchers were even able to influence the monkeys' final decisions through subliminal manipulations of the movement of dots.
