Determining the psychological, computational, and neural bases of confidence and
uncertainty holds promise for understanding foundational aspects of human metacognition …

Top-down feedback in cortex is critical for guiding sensory processing, which has
prominently been formalized in the theory of hierarchical predictive coding (hPC). However …

Philosopher Ned Block argues in this book that there is a" joint in nature" between
perception and cognition and that by exploring the nature of that joint, one can solve …

Modeling human cognition is challenging because there are infinitely many mechanisms
that can generate any given observation. Some researchers address this by constraining the …

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 …

The fully updated eighth edition of Cognitive Psychology: A Student's Handbook provides
comprehensive yet accessible coverage of all the key areas in the field ranging from visual …

Making good decisions requires thinking ahead, but the huge number of actions and
outcomes one could consider makes exhaustive planning infeasible for computationally …

Adaptive behavior in a complex, dynamic, and multisensory world poses some of the most
fundamental computational challenges for the brain, notably inference, decision-making …

“Neural coding” is a popular metaphor in neuroscience, where objective properties of the
world are communicated to the brain in the form of spikes. Here I argue that this metaphor is …

How do people interact with computers? This fundamental question was asked by Card,
Moran, and Newell in 1983 with a proposition to frame it as a question about human …
