News Finding: The team is expanding their research to explore how the elusive feelings of confidence are based on objective predictions that influence human decisions as well.
Paper Finding: Response accuracy therefore becomes coupled with decision confidence.
News Context: As Kepecs describes, "we now know that the OFC is critical for making on-the-fly predictions in rats. The human OFC is just a more sophisticated version of the rodent counterpart." The team is expanding their research to explore how the elusive feelings of confidence are based on objective predictions that influence human decisions as well.
Paper Context: The internal representation of the stimulus m 0 varies from trial to trial even if the stimulus mixture m is fixed. Response accuracy therefore becomes coupled with decision confidence. Instead, it could be assessed through the time spent by the observer in the reward port.
