Perceptual decisions depend on the ability to exploit available sensory information in order
to select the most adaptive option from a set of alternatives. Such decisions depend on the …

Learning and experience are known to improve our ability to make perceptual decisions.
Yet, our understanding of the brain mechanisms that support improved perceptual decisions …

Metacognition and mentalizing are both associated with meta-level mental state
representations. Conventionally, metacognition refers to monitoring one's own cognitive …

Metacognitive abilities allow us to adjust ongoing behavior and modify future decisions in
the absence of external feedback. Although metacognition is critical in many daily life …

While perceptual learning increases objective sensitivity, the effects on the constant
interaction of the process of perception and its metacognitive evaluation have been rarely …

Animal neurophysiological studies have identified neural signals within dorsal frontoparietal
areas that trace a perceptual decision by accumulating sensory evidence over time and …

Metacognition is defined as cognition about one's own cognitive state; it enables us to
estimate our own performance during goal-directed actions and to select a suitable strategy …

Metacognition refers to the ability to discriminate between one's own correct and incorrect
decisions. The neurobiological underpinnings of metacognition have mainly been studied in …

The period of making a perceptual decision is often followed by a period of rating confidence
where one evaluates the likely accuracy of the initial decision. However, it remains unclear …

Mapping specific sensory features to future motor actions is a crucial capability of
mammalian nervous systems. We investigated the role of visual (V1), posterior parietal …
