People's assessments of the state of the world often deviate systematically from the
information available to them [1]. Such biases can originate from people's own decisions …

Human perceptual decisions can be repelled away from (repulsive adaptation) or attracted

Learning from successes and failures often improves the quality of subsequent decisions.
Past outcomes, however, should not influence purely perceptual decisions after task …

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 …

Perception is known to cycle through periods of enhanced and reduced sensitivity to
external information. Here, we asked whether such slow fluctuations arise as a noise-related …
