Metacognition is the capacity to evaluate and control one's own cognitive processes.
Metacognition operates over a range of cognitive domains, such as perception and memory …

Confidence judgments are typically less informative about one's accuracy than they could
be; a phenomenon we call metacognitive inefficiency. We review the existence of different …

Large-scale neural population recordings with single-cell resolution across the primate brain
remain challenging. Here we introduce the Neuroscroll probe that isolates single neuronal …

Decisions vary in difficulty. Humans know this and typically report more confidence in easy
than in difficult decisions. However, confidence reports do not perfectly track decision …

Performance monitoring is a key cognitive function, allowing to detect mistakes and adapt
future behavior. Post-decisional neural signals have been identified that are sensitive to …

The drift-diffusion model (DDM) is an important decision-making model in cognitive
neuroscience. However, innovations in model form have been limited by methodological …

Neural mechanisms of perceptual decision making have been extensively studied in
experimental settings that mimic stable environments with repeating stimuli, fixed rules, and …

Engaging in metacognition (evaluating, controlling, and representing cognitive states) is
paramount for efficient behaviour. In this Review, we examine different types of cognitive …

In the absence of external feedback, a decision maker must rely on a subjective estimate of
their decision accuracy in order to appropriately guide behavior. Normative models of …

Despite the tangible progress in psychological and cognitive sciences over the last several
years, these disciplines still trail other more mature sciences in identifying the most important …
