It is controversial whether covariation between neuronal activity and perceptual choice (i.e., choice correlation) reflects the functional readout of sensory signals. Here, we combined choice-correlation measures and electrical microstimulation on a site-to-site basis in the medial superior temporal area (MST), middle temporal area (MT), and ventral intraparietal area (VIP) when macaques discriminated between motion directions in both fine and coarse tasks. Microstimulation generated comparable effects between tasks but heterogeneous effects across and within brain regions. Within the MST and MT, microstimulation significantly biased an animal's choice toward the sensory preference instead of choice-related signals of the stimulated units. This was particularly evident for sites with conflict preference of sensory and choice-related signals. In the VIP, microstimulation failed to produce significant effects in either task despite strong choice correlations presented in this area. Our results suggest that sensory readout may not be inferred from choice-related signals during perceptual decision-making tasks.
