Latimeret al (Reports, 10 July 2015, p. 184) claim that during perceptual decision formation, parietal neurons undergo one-time, discrete steps in firing rate instead of gradual changes that represent the accumulation of evidence. However, that conclusion rests on unsubstantiated assumptions about the time window of evidence accumulation, and their stepping model cannot explain existing data as effectively as evidence-accumulation models.
拉蒂默等人(《报告》,2015年7月10日,第184页)声称,在感知决策形成过程中,顶叶神经元的放电频率经历一次性的离散步骤,而非代表证据积累的逐渐变化。然而,该结论基于关于证据积累时间窗口的未经证实的假设,并且他们的步进模型无法像证据积累模型那样有效地解释现有数据。
