The processing steps that lead up to a decision, i.e.

, the transformation of sensory evidence

into motor output, are not fully understood. Here, we combine stereoEEG recordings from the

human cortex, with single-lead and time-resolved decoding, using a wide range of temporal

frequencies, to characterize decision processing during a rule-switching task. Our data reveal

the contribution of rostral inferior parietal lobule (IPL) regions, in particular PFt, and the

parietal opercular regions in decision processing and demonstrate that the network repre-senting the decision is common to both

task rules. We reconstruct the sequence in which

regions engage in decision processing on single trials, thereby providing a detailed picture of

the network dynamics involved in decision-making. The reconstructed timeline suggests that

the supramarginal gyrus in IPL links decision regions in prefrontal cortex with premotor

regions, where the motor plan for the response is elaborated.
