When making choices, we allocate our fixations to each contemplated option, and tend to look longer at more valued ones (1-5). The purpose of fixation during choice remains unknown. Here we examined behavioral and neural activity of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) performing a two-options risky choice task in which offers occurred in sequence, each followed by a long (600 ms) blank screen delay period. As expected, we found that subjects allocated their gaze towards offer presentation locations and spent more time looking at most valuable offers; after factoring out value, we found that more
