Article Synopsis
- Humans can make abstract choices that aren't always tied to physical actions, but most studies link choices to actions.
- Researchers found that the brain represents these abstract choices independently of motor actions using MEG signals, showing distinct brain areas for choice representation and motor signals.
- The study suggests that there’s a common process in the brain for making decisions, which can operate regardless of whether the action tied to the choice is known or not.
Multivariate analysis methods are widely used in neuroscience to investigate the presence and structure of neural representations. Representational similarities across time or contexts are often investigated using pattern generalization, e.g.

Speech, as the spoken form of language, is fundamental for human communication. The phenomenon of covert inner speech implies functional independence of speech content and motor production. However, it remains unclear how a flexible mapping between speech content and production is achieved on the neural level.

To close this gap between invasive and non-invasive electrophysiology we developed and recorded human-comparable EEG in macaque monkeys during visual stimulation with colored dynamic random dot patterns. Furthermore, we performed simultaneous microelectrode recordings from 6 areas of macaque cortex and human MEG.
