Detecting objects in the environment, and forming a sense of confidence in these decisions typically involves multisensory processing. We sought to characterize how humans form amodal and modality-specific confidence judgments during audiovisual …
Perceptual consciousness is defined as the subjective experience associated with the processing of sensory cues from the environment. Subjective experience unfolds over time and is accompanied by a sense of confidence, yet the mechanisms underlying …
Predicting the outcome of one’s actions is crucial for effective behaviour. The mechanical underpinnings of this metacognitive ability are, however, poorly understood. In two preregistered experiments, we investigated the impact of visual feedback on …
Most human studies on perceptual decision-making are correlational, and few addressed the causal role of the neural markers they identify. Here, we took the opportunity offered by deep brain stimulation to study the causal role of subthalamo-cortical …
Motor awareness (MA) describes the level of conscious access we have to the details of our movements and as such is critical to the feeling of control we maintain over our actions (sense of agency). Although our movements rely on specific …
