Viewing social cues improves choice encoding. Left, Decoding performance for each animal’s choice using pushes with preceding fixations on either social cue within 1,000 ms of push (navy and gold) compared to pushes without fixations on social cues (grey). V4 M1, P = 0.48 and P = 0.4; M2, P = 0.49 and P = 0.71. dlPFC M1, P = 0.0002, r = 0.8 and P = 0.02, r = 0.5; M2, P = 0.008, r = 0.6 and P = 0.02, r = 0.6; with and without social cues, respectively. Right, decoding accuracy for choice averaged across both monkeys for each condition. V4 P = 7.44 × 10 − 7 and dlPFC P = 3.46 × 10 −6 ; Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
