perceptual decision-making

Perceptual decision-making is the process our brain uses to interpret sensory information from the environment and choose a response. For example, when you see a ball approaching, your brain assesses the motion, size, and speed to decide whether to catch or avoid it. This process involves gathering sensory signals, evaluating their significance, and making a choice based on experience and context. It’s how we make real-time judgments about what we see, hear, or feel, helping us navigate and respond effectively to our surroundings.
