This study shows that confidence is shaped by decision goals, not just evidence, and introduces a model to explain this goal-dependent confidence formation.

This study investigates whether autistic traits affect self-bias and social basis function use during social decision-making, finding no significant relationship.

The paper introduces SOCAM, a supervised cell annotation method that enforces ontological consistency and improves performance using a probability propagation strategy and logistic regression model.

This study shows that detrending neural spectra conflates rhythmic and arrhythmic brain activity, while specparam provides accurate separation of these components.

The paper investigates how expectations about stimulus presence and content interact to influence perceptual judgments, finding that content expectations have a larger effect when a stimulus is expected to appear.

The paper identifies content-invariant neural signatures of perceptual vividness using MEG and fMRI data, finding similar coding principles to magnitude representations in other cognitive domains.

The paper investigates how numerical zero is encoded in the human brain, finding that both symbolic and non-symbolic representations of zero occupy ordinal positions on neural number lines.

The paper re-evaluates confidence modulation in brain regions by comparing detection and discrimination tasks, finding similar quadratic effects in both.

This paper explores how confidence influences information search by extending models of metacognition to show diverse relationships between action, confidence, and information seeking.

The paper investigates how confidence in others' decisions is computed by combining estimates of ability and decision difficulty, supported by specific brain systems.

The paper uses fMRI data to distinguish neural correlates of stimulus visibility from decision confidence in human participants.

The paper introduces a task and analysis procedure to quantify breathing-related interoception dimensions using simulated and empirical data.

This paper develops a biologically-plausible model of decision uncertainty to explain metacognitive distortions in mental health disorders by linking model parameters to empirical confidence judgments and self-reported symptoms.

The paper shows that confirmation bias can be adaptive when paired with strong metacognition, improving decision-making through selective information processing.

The paper investigates how the human brain supports private-public mappings in social contexts using fMRI data from an interactive task.

The paper investigates neural differences in metacognition for detecting versus discriminating visual stimuli using fMRI, finding distinct confidence effects in frontopolar cortex and right temporoparietal junction.

The paper shows that subthreshold motor activity correlates with perceptual confidence, suggesting motor processes influence confidence beyond sensory evidence.

The paper investigates how decision confidence is encoded in the human medial prefrontal cortex using fMRI, finding distinct neural signatures for confidence compared to sensory reliability and boundary distance.

The paper investigates metacognition by analyzing fMRI data from perceptual and memory tasks, finding both domain-specific and domain-general neural representations.
