Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This article reviews how my laboratory discovered and implemented the stop signal task with the Logan race model to elucidate how central circuits control the initiation of gaze shifts. The novelty of the approach and the clarity of the findings inspired a collaboration with Gordon Logan and Thomas Palmeri that led to the formulation of an interactive race model, which articulates the relationship between the abstract formal race model and the structure and function of brain circuits. This work is situated in a larger project that uses neural properties to address mimicry between psychological models and uses psychological models to explain what neurons do. The interaction of neuroscience and psychology enriches both.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
