Paper published on self-control

Our paper developing a model of trial-to-trial self-control measures was just accepted at Cerebral Cortex! After testing several model variants, we concluded that a model with an active suppression of a tempting, but inferior choice option provided the best fit to choice response time data across subjects (hierarchically). Perhaps more interesting is that the single-trial parameters of this inhibitory process correlated strongly with brain regions commonly associated with cognitive control.
