AbstractSurviving in a constantly changing environment requires not only the ability to select actions, but also the flexibility to stop and switch actions when necessary. Extensive research has been devoted to understanding how the brain switches actions, yet the computations underlying switching and how it relates to selecting and stopping processes remain elusive. A central question is whether switching is an extension of the stopping process or involves different mechanisms.

AbstractSurvival of species in an ever-changing environment requires a flexibility that encompasses not only choosing the most appropriate action but also stopping unwanted or inappropriate actions and, more frequently, rapidly switching between actions. Although considerable research has been devoted to understand how the brain switches actions, the computations underlying the switching process and how it relates to selecting and stopping actions remain elusive.
