印第安纳大学心理与脑科学系教授Tom James于2026年8月25日发表研究，挑战了大脑存在中央决策系统的传统观点 1。这篇关于决策与动作的感觉运动机制的研究论文题为《Sensorimotor Mechanisms of Decisions and Actions》，刊登在《Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience》2026年第38卷第6期（DOI: 10.1162/JOCN.a.2484） 1。James指出，决策并非由大脑中某个专门的决策中心产生，而是感知、运动、身体与环境持续互动的结果 1。
James提出，决策可能类似于“质心”或“大学”这样的抽象概念，用于描述行为但不直接产生物理因果 1。同时，他借用Daniel Dennett的“笛卡尔剧场”概念批评中央控制器模型会导致无限倒退 1。
Tom James, a neuroscientist and professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Indiana University, published a paper on August 25, 2026, challenging the traditional belief that the brain contains a central decision-making system 1. In his article titled "Sensorimotor Mechanisms of Decisions and Actions," which appeared in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, James asserts that decisions are not produced by a specialized decision center in the brain 1. Rather, he proposes that decision-making is the result of continuous interaction between perception, movement, the body, and the environment 1.
James suggests that a decision is more like an abstract description than a physical causal entity 1. He likens the concept of decision-making to abstract concepts such as a "center of mass" or a "university," noting that these terms are used to describe behavior but do not directly produce physical causation 1. Additionally, James borrows Daniel Dennett's concept of the "Cartesian theater" to criticize the central controller model, arguing that it leads to an infinite regress 1. The study was published in Volume 38, Issue 6 of the journal, with the DOI 10.1162/JOCN.a.2484 1.
