The model of a stochastic decision process unfolding in motor and premotor regions of the brain was encoded in single-trial magnetoencephalographic (MEG) recordings while ten healthy subjects performed a sensorimotor Reaction Time (RT) task. The duration of single-trial MEG signals preceding the motor response, recorded over the motor cortex contralateral to the responding hand, co-varied with RT across trials according to the model's prediction. Furthermore, these signals displayed the same properties of a “rising-to-a-fixed-threshold” decision process as posited by the model and observed in the activity of single neurons in the primate cortex. The present findings demonstrate that non-averaged, single-trial MEG recordings can be used to test models of cognitive processes, like decision-making, in humans.
