Normalization accounts for temporal dynamics in human somatosensory cortex

The paper shows that divisive normalization models better capture temporal dynamics in human somatosensory cortex compared to linear models, mirroring visual cortex findings.

No benefit of subsampling in ensemble coding

The paper evaluates whether subsampling improves ensemble coding and finds that full integration with limited resources performs equally well.

Duration judgments with conflicting audiovisual cues

The paper investigates how observers integrate conflicting audiovisual duration cues and finds that perceptual shifts are proportional to cue conflict, inconsistent with causal inference.

Featural representation and internal noise around the visual field

The paper investigates visual field asymmetries by analyzing feature weighting and internal noise in orientation detection, finding that horizontal-vertical asymmetry is linked to feature processing and noise, while vertical asymmetry is less explained by tested components.

Distinct computations underlie movement error parsing during implicit motor adaptation and perturbation detection

The paper investigates how the human sensorimotor system parses movement errors into external and internal components during adaptation and detection, finding distinct computational strategies for implicit adaptation and explicit detection.

Visual confidence accurately tracks increasing internal noise with eccentricity in peripheral vision

The paper tests if perceptual confidence accurately reflects increasing internal noise in peripheral vision using a Bayesian framework and incentivized confidence measurements.

Implicit adaptations effect on sensorimotor and motor confidence

This study investigates whether implicit sensorimotor adaptation affects confidence in motor execution and proprioceptive awareness, finding dissociated effects on these judgments.

Sensorimotor confidence during explicit motor adaptation

The paper investigates how humans determine confidence in motor adaptation by analyzing how confidence dynamics relate to sensorimotor adaptation during a visual reach task with perturbed feedback.

Precision-based causal inference modulates audiovisual temporal recalibration

The paper investigates audiovisual temporal recalibration by comparing observer models and finds that causal inference and modality-specific precision are necessary to explain the observed effects.

Functional localization of visual motion area FST in humans

The paper identifies a human homolog of the macaque visual motion area FST using motion localizers and pRF mapping, showing its distinct functional and structural properties.

Humans use overconfident estimates of auditory spatial and temporal uncertainty for perceptual inference

The paper shows humans use overconfident estimates of auditory spatial and audiovisual temporal uncertainty in perceptual decisions, challenging the assumption of optimal uncertainty accounting.

Feeling lucky? Prospective and retrospective cues for sensorimotor confidence

The paper investigates how humans use prospective and retrospective cues to judge sensorimotor confidence, finding that some participants use both while others rely only on prior information.

Identifying cortical areas that underlie the transformation from retinal to world motion signals

The paper identifies cortical areas that transform retinal motion signals into world motion signals using fMRI and probabilistic decoding of 3D motion stimuli.

Causal-inference regulates audiovisual spatial recalibration via its influence on audiovisual perception

This study investigates how the brain recalibrates audiovisual spatial perception using cue reliability and causal inference, finding that the causal-inference model best explains the observed recalibration patterns.

Priors and Payoffs in Confidence Judgments

This study investigates how priors and payoffs influence confidence judgments in perceptual tasks, finding that humans do not follow the normative model of confidence behavior.

Performance Monitoring for Sensorimotor Confidence: A Visuomotor Tracking Study

This study investigates how humans monitor their sensorimotor confidence during visuomotor tracking tasks and finds that recent errors have a greater influence on confidence judgments.

Human online adaptation to changes in prior probability

The paper investigates how humans adapt to changes in prior probability during decision-making, finding an exponential averaging model with a bias towards equal priors.
