model EEG behavior goal Model fit uses % correct in RT quantiles ([0.1:0.2:0.9]), so cannot be fit on a trial-to-trial basis. => to look at trial-to-trial relationship between model and behavior, here single-trial EEG data is used. • Is there a relationship at the single-trial level?
logic • EEG component amplitude was used to divide trials into those with high and low drift rate. • Then the model was fit separately to the 2 groups of trials. • The fit uses the behavioral results of the sorted trials to extract drift rate. • Main result: the drift rate was higher on trials with higher EEG
