Are you sure there’s no mosquito in the room?
With @matanmazor.bsky.social, Chichi Dézier, @nfaivre.bsky.social & Louise Goupil, we study how we combine multiple sensory sources to be confident in presence and absence: While detection rely on one modality, confidence requires both channels to align!

Two recent #sEEG studies worth checking out if you're interested in evidence accumulation, #consciousness and #metacognition:

With @francoisstock.bsky.social, Dorian Goueytes, @meaperei.bsky.social, and many others!
Our #sEEG study is now published in Nature Communications: rdcu.be/eIkoG! 🧠
Key finding: We discovered neural evidence accumulation for visual perception that's independent of report preparation—recorded from >3000 channels across 3 experiments!

Check out our new multisensory decision study!
We tackle a decades-old Q: does faster detection of bimodal targets come from a race or co-activation between modalities? And also a vital, orthogonal Q: is it one decision process or two?
A1: co-activation
A2: two!

Are interoception and mental health linked? Many assume so, with interoception even described as a psychiatric “p-factor.” But in our latest preprint, we were surprised to find little evidence for such a connection. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 Thread with our reflections on the matter 👇
Our paper about contention and consensus in unconscious processing research is now out in Behavioral and Brain Sciences. Check out Maor's thread! Please consider sending a comment, we are interested to continue this discussion 🤓
Confidence in absence as confidence in counterfactual visibility: a CogSci proceedings paper with star MSc student Maya Schipper, is now out on PsyArXiv:

Our "I would have seen it if it were there" paper — a collaboration with @ranimo.bsky.social and @clarepress.bsky.social — is now out in Psych. Review.
There’s a lot in this paper, but here are what I see as the 3 main takeaways:

Through thick and thin, the ultra-resilient Ramla Msheik completed the main study of her PhD, which supports leaky evidence accumulation as a computational mechanism underlying perceptual confidence and subjective duration. Check it out!

Hey Bluesky! I’m excited to share my new preprint with @matanmazor.bsky.social and @ruvidar.bsky.social, where we show that surface-level questionnaire filling behaviours drive correlations between mental health and metacognition (confidence ratings). osf.io/preprints/ps... [1/14]
Ever wondered how basketball players know when their throws are in/out?
L. Brun & @perrineporte.bsky.social asked players to rate confidence in their throws under variable visual feedback.
Turns out vision helps adjust confidence in successful, but not failed throws:
