Where in the brain can you decode behavioral indices like RT and confidence? At the group level, in a few places only. However, in a new preprint, we show that most areas of the brain support significant decoding in individual subjects. 1/4 https://t.co/9pZJQI97Ei
Smart design captures with a discounting rate how hunger bias participant choices from healthy to tasty as predicted by attentional shift with eye tracking.
What does it mean for confidence? What does it mean for executive control and free will? So simple yet elegant!
🚀 NEW PREPRINT ALERT🚀
I am beyond excited to finally announce that my first first-author paper is now available as a preprint: https://t.co/FxLusIXpan We show how hunger state affects the cognitive processes underlying dietary choice. 1/n
Excited to share our preprint & my first PhD output! We found that a manipulation of prior beliefs about task performance causally induces under- and overconfidence: https://t.co/hLkK1eMeNj w/ modeling 🧙♂️ #PierreleDenmat, #TomVerguts & @KobeDesender at @KULeuven#tweeprint⬇️(1/9)

Attractor basins around patterns of macaque PFC activity reflecting decisions had steeper landscapes for offers that led to consistent decisions, which reflects decision confidence

In our new pre-print, my great collaborators @marion_rouault, @RuthJvanHolst, @JudyLuig and I investigated metacognitive functioning across various hierarchical levels in OCD patients and highly-compulsive individuals from the general population https://t.co/boFEsWzeWa (1/9)
🚨 NEW PAPER 🚨 published in Royal Society Open Science w/@oriane_armand, @moran_rani, @bahadorbahrami, & @OpheliaDeroy
In social settings, people tend to converge to similar views.
But what happens in groups with largely diverse opinions?

Domain-general metacognition might be a key variable for changing minds about climate change - provocative preprint from @manos_tsakiris@M_Rollwage @smfleming and colleagues. https://t.co/yMPT76kAKF
I’m excited to share a new preprint!🧠🥳With @mael_lebreton and Mathias Pessiglione, we examine the brain systems supporting confidence judgments across cognitive domains https://t.co/Ykj7xt11hp (1/9)
Mindset choice for scientists🧑🏻🔬:
My confidence reflects:
◽️my perceived success.
◽️the potential I believe my research to have.
Remember, be pragmatic. 💪✨

@Itsbkumar056 @PhDVoice@AcademicChatter@OpenAcademics @PhDfriendSana Your collaborators are also very important contributors of your scientific training, but it really is like swimming against a current not to have proper guidance and you might end up not being a competitive candidate to continue in academia in the end.
I am mind blown to discover brillant work from other disciplines at the @LifeImprovSci conference going on this week 🤯✨.
The talk by @psywisdom on training perspective taking as a metacognitive trait to improve wisdom was fascinating. 🤩
Thanks all 👏🏻
Finally time for a new preprint, led by fantastic PhD student @NahuelSalem, supervised by @StePalminteri and myself! This one is about the the computational origins of confidence biases in reinforcement learning.

Golden lessons for students:
• Go for the rough sea, that's where the action is. 🌊
• You cannot know everything, you'll learn by doing: sink or swim. 🏊🏽
• Forgive yourself for "wasting time". 🗺🚣🏽♀️🤷🏼♀️📚
