9. "At the first stage, a value transformation takes the input ... and abstracts from it a representation of the value of available options. At the second stage, a decision transformation maps this value representation onto the probability of alternative courses of action. A final processing stage transforms this continuous probability into discrete choice among these alternatives" (8).

23. Other distinguishing features of the task included associating outcomes with cues regardless of their location, which ruled out the development of motor biases, and giving the cues fixed associations, which ruled out uncertainty.

25. All analyses concern 0 to 250 ms after cue onset unless otherwise stated.

27. This effect was driven by monkey 1 (figs. S6 and S7).

32. Incentive and aversive salience refer to the control of cues over behavior and do not necessarily denote an ability to capture attention (15, 16). Note, however, that the monkeys were faster to look toward locations marked by large-reward than by small-reward cues and slower to look away from locations marked by large-penalty than by small-penalty cues (table S1), as expected from attentional capture.
