When we see something that's moving, our memories about it end up projected forward in time: We remember it further along than it was. In a new paper in 𝘗𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, out today and led by @dillonplunkett.bsky.social, we demonstrate that this happens even when there is 𝙣𝙤 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙤𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧.🧵

Happy to share our new and groundbreaking study on the relationship between conscious awareness and the sense of bodily self! With @brainself.bsky.social at @ki.se and out today in PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Conscious awareness, sensory integration, and evidence accumulation in bodily self-perception | PNAS

Conscious awareness refers to the subjective experience of perceiving, thinking, and feeling and the ability to report these experiences. These per...

Impressive behavioral + modelling + eeg work, led by @lucvermeylen.bsky.social , relating time-on-task changes in comp parameters to changes in metacognitive reports!

Communications Psychology@commspsychol.nature.com · last yr.

The study suggests a few metacognitive states correlate with rational behavioural adjustments; this might help steering behaviour towards optimality. @lucvermeylen.bsky.social @sebraem.bsky.social @kobedesender.bsky.social @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social @mruz.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Performance feedback triggers liberal detection and perceptual confidence biases in early childhood: Implications for metacognitive training - PubMed

Metacognition allows us to monitor our own mental processes and the quality of our decisions in order to promote adaptive behavior and learning across different domains. Despite its potential, the rol...

Very cool new work led by the incredible @helenevanmarcke.bsky.social in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social Go and Read if you're into information seeking, metacognitieve confidence and (!) _beautiful_ figures :)

Hélène Van Marcke@helenevanmarcke.bsky.social · last yr.

Happy to share my latest work with @kobedesender.bsky.social on the context-dependent role of confidence in information-seeking 🔍now out in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social -- authors.elsevier.com/a/1lGLb2Hx2-... 🧵⬇️ (1/7)

Kobe Desender@kobedesender.bsky.social · last yr.

Impressive study led by @johnpgrogan1.bsky.social and @lucvermeylen.bsky.social combining evidence accumulation modeling and EEG to find a computatioanl account that explains the computations of confidence. So many answers in this manuscript :)

John P Grogan@johnpgrogan1.bsky.social · last yr.

Our newest preprint is out (doi.org/10.1101/2025.06.05.658071), with @lucvermeylen.bsky.social,Dasha Monakhovych, Cameron McCabe, Sarah-Louise Mannion, @kobedesender.bsky.social, @redmondoconnell.bsky.social, comparing post-decision confidence models against behaviour and neural decision signals...

If you're in Dublin, go and talk to @yfvisser.bsky.social she's doing some really cool stuff on insight into our own biases!!

Yvonne F. Visser@yfvisser.bsky.social · last yr.

Ever wondered if you were aware of your own biases? Us too! If you're attending #RLDM2025, stop by poster #92 on Friday to learn how we tested insight into perceptual decision biases using (hierarchical) drift diffusion modelling. Work with @kobedesender.bsky.social, Peter Murphy & Hanne Daenen.

Why does it feel good to be sure? In new work @voalan.bsky.social @andero.bsky.social and I bridge confidence and affect. In perceptual DM, we found a remarkably consistent association between both measures! ↓↓↓ link: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #PsychSciSky #Neuroscience #Neuroskyence

Metacognitive confidence and affect – two sides of the same coin?

Decision confidence is a prototypical metacognitive representation that is thought to approximate the probability that a decision is correct. The perception of being correct has also been associate...
