Embodied decisions as active inference. by Matteo Priorelli, Ivilin Peev Stoianov, Giovanni Pezzulo

“…Decision-making is often conceptualized as a serial process, during which sensory evidence is accumulated for the choice alternatives until a certain threshold is reached, at which point a decision is made and an action is executed. This decide-then-act perspective has successfully explained various facets of perceptual and economic decisions in the laboratory, in which action dynamics are usually irrelevant to the choice. …”
