DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.11.051
Abstract: &NA; Neuroimaging studies have identified multiple extra‐striate visual areas that are sensitive to symmetry in planar images (Kohler et al., 2016; Sasaki et al., 2005). Here, we investigated which of these areas are directly involved… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-025-08212-7
Abstract: Genetics and experience are known to mold our cognitive development. Yet, the interactions between genetics and brain mechanisms that support learning and flexible behavior in the adult human brain remain largely unknown. Here, we test… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.07.28.501825
Abstract: Based on our expectations about material properties we can implicitly predict an object’s future states, e.g. a wine glass falling down will break when it hits the ground. How these expectations affect relatively low level… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2023.02.19.529102
Abstract: Decision confidence plays a critical role in humans’ ability to make adaptive decisions in a noisy perceptual world. Despite its importance, there is currently little consensus about the computations underlying confidence judgements in perceptual decisions.… read more here.

Recurrent inhibition refines mental templates to optimize perceptual decisions

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.ado7378
Abstract: Translating sensory inputs to perceptual decisions relies on building internal representations of features critical for solving complex tasks. Yet, we still lack a mechanistic account of how the brain forms these mental templates of task-relevant… read more here.

Neurochemical and functional interactions for improved perceptual decisions through training
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Neurophysiology"
DOI: 10.1152/jn.00308.2021
Abstract: Learning and experience are known to improve our ability to make perceptual decisions. Yet, our understanding of the brain mechanisms that support improved perceptual decisions through training remains limited. Here, we test the neurochemical and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/09637214231162369
Abstract: A cornerstone of human information processing is how we make decisions about incoming sensory percepts. Much of psychological science has focused on understanding how these judgments operate in skilled adult observers. Although not typically the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1010318
Abstract: Perceptual confidence is an important internal signal about the certainty of our decisions and there is a substantial debate on how it is computed. We highlight three confidence metric types from the literature: observers either… read more here.

Strategic and Dynamic Temporal Weighting for Perceptual Decisions in Humans and Macaques
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "eNeuro"
DOI: 10.1523/eneuro.0169-18.2018
Abstract: Abstract Perceptual decision-making is often modeled as the accumulation of sensory evidence over time. Recent studies using psychophysical reverse correlation have shown that even though the sensory evidence is stationary over time, subjects may exhibit… read more here.

Lapses in perceptual decisions reflect exploration

DOI: 10.7554/elife.55490
Abstract: Perceptual decision-makers often display a constant rate of errors independent of evidence strength. These ‘lapses’ are treated as a nuisance arising from noise tangential to the decision, e.g. inattention or motor errors. Here, we use… read more here.
