Skilled sensorimotor interactions with the world result from a series of decision-making
processes that determine, on the basis of information extracted during the unfolding …

Perceptual decision making is the process by which animals detect, discriminate, and
categorize information from the senses. Over the past two decades, understanding how …

People are often aware of their mistakes, and report levels of confidence in their choices that
correlate with objective performance. These metacognitive assessments of decision quality …

Decisions vary in difficulty. Humans know this and typically report more confidence in easy
than in difficult decisions. However, confidence reports do not perfectly track decision …

Throughout the history of modern neuroscience, the parietal cortex has been associated
with a wide array of sensory, motor, and cognitive functions. The use of non-human primates …

Making rapid decisions on the basis of sensory information is essential to everyday
behaviors. Why, then, are perceptual decisions so variable despite unchanging inputs …

Confidence and actions are normally tightly interwoven—if I am sure that it is going to rain, I
will take an umbrella—therefore, it is difficult to understand their interplay. Stimulated by the …

Humans can readily assess their degree of confidence in their decisions. Two models of
confidence computation have been proposed: post hoc computation using post-decision …

Decision bias is traditionally conceptualized as an internal reference against which sensory
evidence is compared. Instead, we show that individuals implement decision bias by shifting …

The ability to introspectively evaluate our experiences to form accurate metacognitive
beliefs, or insight, is an essential component of decision-making. Previous research …
