It was amazing the degree to which the activity of these neurons paralleled the behavior of the monkeys. They looked like they were signaling, in fact, the monkeys' subjective valuation of that target.»

«Some people are impulsive, some people are not; some people think through their decisions while others don't, and sometimes this can become pathological.
