 on is the cornerstone of intelligence\, shaping the cognitive hierarchy fr
 om basic sensation to complex executive function. Central to this adaptabi
 lity is the capacity to dynamically integrate internal needs with environm
 ental signals\, a process known as internal decision-making. Despite its i
 mportance\, the precise mechanisms by which biological and artificial neur
 al networks realize these processes remain elusive. In this presentation\,
  I demonstrate that internal decision processes are fundamental to underst
 anding both human and machine behavior. I then explore how the underlying 
 machinery (neural networks) realizes these internal decisions. Lastly\, I 
 introduce a novel method that allows for the inference of these internal s
 tates purely from the dynamics of both biological and artificial networks.
  Ultimately\, by uncovering the computational \"engine\" of decision-makin
 g\, we pave the way for a better understanding of diverse cognitive functi
 ons\, as well as the mechanisms underlying their dysfunction.
