Thrilled to share our paper with @meaperei @n_faivre and @elifilevich now out in @NatureComms! In 3 experiments, we show that priors have a stronger influence on confidence judgements than they do on the decisions themselves. An (updated) 🧵👇 (1/8) nature.com/articles/s4146…

Thrilled to share a new preprint on Neurophenomenal Structuralism (NPS) by @AdrienDoerig & myself! We show why neural structures alone aren’t enough to capture conscious contents. We must consider computational context! (arxiv.org/abs/2412.20873). A Thread:

Was that a mosquito? 🦟🦟🦟 Well, you better consider the probability of mozzies in your current environment! Go check out my PhD project finally summarized in a preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #somatosensoryperception #expectations #previouschoice #oscillations #MNEPython

Recorded keynotes from the 2024 MESEC Winter School are now available on YouTube 🥳 We thank again the amazing speakers who agreed to join us this year, and invite everyone to dive into the wealth of knowledge they shared >> youtube.com/playlist?list=…

My review of temporal attention is out in @NatRevPsych! It covers key conceptual issues, data, and models in the field of visual temporal attention, and I hope it will be useful to both experts and those new to the topic Web: go.nature.com/496FAfj PDF: rdcu.be/dBUpT

Our new sEEG study is out on BioRxiv: tinyurl.com/4afh3b9n! Using 3 face detection experiments and recording from >3000 channels, we found a neural code that reflected evidence accumulation for conscious perception and perceptual confidence! 👇

Super thrilled to share that our paper with brilliant co-first-author @helenevanmarcke is now published in @PsychScience ! Huge thanks to @KobeDesender and Tom Verguts for their supervision ! Read the final paper here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38427319/

Our new paper on metacognition and sense of agency is just out on Cognition. Here is link of a 50 days’ free access. authors.elsevier.com/a/1hlo02Hx2tXB1 @PatrickHaggard @LucieCharlesCog

@BalsdonTarryn @meaperei @n_faivre @elifilevich @NatureComms @mlisi6 @meganakpeters @DobyRahnev Thanks Tarryn! 😊 And yes a big thanks to @meganakpeters for the review which was hugely helpful in strengthening the work and also to @mlisi6 for the important input pointing out to us an alternative explanation and encouraging further digging!

@royesal @meaperei @n_faivre @elifilevich @NatureComms Thanks Roy!

@marika_constant @meaperei @n_faivre @elifilevich @NatureComms Cool to see this out. Congratulations Marika and all. !

And finally, this points to the importance of including confidence when studying priors in decision-making... after all, a more optimal posterior might be hiding at the metacognitive level! (8/8)

So, we think we should consider priors when studying confidence. Perhaps this reveals another type of metacognitive confirmation bias, with confidence favouring information consistent with one's previous beliefs. 🤔 More exploration needed! (7/8)

So excited to be here at @ASSC26 and still buzzing from the incredible first day! I’ll be presenting a poster today of our work finding robust dissociations between the effect of priors in decisions and confidence. Come check out if it violates any priors for you!
