CODE - Confident Decision Network

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!

Indecision and recency-weighted evidence integration in non-clinical and clinical settings - Nature Human Behaviour This research finds a strong recency bias in information gathering, attenuated in those on the OCD spectrum—a possible mechanism for indecisiveness. Behavioural and MEG data show reduced evidence updating in high-OC individuals.

This research by @magdadelrio.bsky.social et al. finds a strong recency bias in information gathering, attenuated in those on the OCD spectrum. Behavioural and MEG data show reduced evidence updating and in high-OC individuals. #OCD #GAD #MEG

So excited to see this lovely paper with @benjyb.bsky.social, @matanmazor.bsky.social and @giuliacabbai.bsky.social published in @nconsc.bsky.social!

New preprint: Confidence-accuracy dissociations in perceptual decision making. A review I was supposed to write 3 years ago for my VSS Young Investigator Award. Better late than never 😅 I tried to organize the literature and explore the likely mechanisms. Feedback welcome!

Marika's latest study is out, showing that her previous results (priors affect confidence more than decisions) hold and generalise to long-term, "real" priors, not just those fake ones we induce in the lab.
This is one of two recent articles from my two wonderful (ex) PhD-students.

Congratulations to Francisca Campos, a PhD student of our network 🥳. She was recently interviewed about her research! 🎉
