Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Luo and Maunsell (2018) use signal detection theory to demonstrate that the modulatory effects of attention on neuronal responses in the lateral prefrontal cortex during change detection can be due to changes in an observer's sensitivity or shifts in their response criterion.
