DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Joshua Gold\nhosted by Maximilian Jösch\nAbstract: My
  talk will describe how we are building on foundational studies of neural 
 mechanisms of perceptual decision-making to understand how those mechanism
 s can support cognitive flexibility. First\, I will describe a general the
 oretical framework for optimal decision-making in dynamic environments\, w
 hich emphasizes the flexible use of different computational primitives (e.
 g.\, working memory\, history-dependent adjustments) in a manner that depe
 nds on the environmental statistics and task. Second\, I will describe new
  findings relating some of these ideas to how the primate brain forms deci
 sions\, in particular how different adaptive mechanisms can be engaged and
  disengaged depending on the task conditions. I will conclude by speculati
 ng on principles that govern the use of these flexible processes in the br
 ain\, including trade-offs between computational costs and performance ben
 efits.
