New paper in PNAS
A new study on links between local and global metacognition led by Marion Rouault has been published in PNAS. Marion built on a previous paradigm she developed while a postdoc in the MetaLab, examining links between local confidence in individual decisions and “global” self-performance estimates (SPEs) over longer timescales. In conjunction with brain imaging, Marion has now shown that interactions between local and global confidence estimates are observed in ventromedial PFC and precuneus, whereas ventral striatal activity tracks global SPEs independently of local confidence. These results provide initial evidence that confidence signals are tracked across multiple hierarchical levels in the human brain.
Congratulations Marion!
