Random note: the term "metacognition" is typically attributed to John Flavell (1976). As I just found out, this is not true. It was likely first coined by Lila Gleitman et al (1972), as seen in this beautiful quote:

We have a PhD position for an upcoming project in metacognition research in Potsdam / Berlin. A great opportunity for those interested in cognitive modeling of confidence and EEG. More information at coconeuro.github.io/phd2025 Kindly share this opportunity with potential candidates - Thanks!
