Determining the psychological, computational, and neural bases of confidence and
uncertainty holds promise for understanding foundational aspects of human metacognition …

Science and philosophy have long struggled with how to even begin studying the neural or
computational basis of qualitative experience. Here I review psychological, neuroscience …

uncertainty. Accompanying these decisions about incoming evidence is a sense of …

Although confidence is commonly believed to be an essential element in decision-making, it
remains unclear what gives rise to one's sense of confidence. Recent Bayesian theories …

Signal-detection theory (SDT) is one of the most popular frameworks for analyzing data from
studies of human behavior–including investigations of confidence. SDT-based analyses of …

Perceptual confidence results from a metacognitive process which evaluates how likely our
percepts are to be correct. Many competing models of perceptual metacognition enjoy …

Confidence in perceptual decisions is thought to reflect the probability of being correct.
According to this view, confidence should be unaffected or minimally reduced by the …
