Animals have to make decisions constantly: what to eat, where to mate,
how to reach that water drop. There is an ongoing debate within the
decision-making field about the underlying mechanisms of action
selection: is that animals select between what they want, the outcomes, or
between what they need to do to get it, the actions? There is both
behavior and neural data that supports the hypothesis that competition
between potential actions is taking place in motor-related areas while
animals are deciding between multiple options to reach a goal. More
specifically, it has been hypothesized that action selection relies on a
competition mechanism between potential actions, where a bias signal
favors one of the actions, leading to its selection.(...)
