Can we use confidence-driven information-seeking as a tool to combat fake news!? Really cool study by really cool @helenevanmarcke.bsky.social ↓↓↓

Full-Force at #ccn2025 in Amsterdam. Come along for a chat if you're interested in metacognition, confidence, computational modelling, reasoning, etc. @yfvisser.bsky.social @jeremiebeucler.bsky.social @helenevanmarcke.bsky.social @alexandre-lietard.bsky.social @zoepurcell.bsky.social

Impressive behavioral + modelling + eeg work, led by @lucvermeylen.bsky.social , relating time-on-task changes in comp parameters to changes in metacognitive reports!

Performance feedback counterintuitively _increases_ overconfidence in young children. Great Collab @dsotob.bsky.social

Performance feedback triggers liberal detection andperceptual confidence biases inearly childhood: Implications formetacognitive training @kobedesender.bsky.social pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40555904/

Very cool new work led by the incredible @helenevanmarcke.bsky.social in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social Go and Read if you're into information seeking, metacognitieve confidence and (!) _beautiful_ figures :)

Impressive study led by @johnpgrogan1.bsky.social and @lucvermeylen.bsky.social combining evidence accumulation modeling and EEG to find a computatioanl account that explains the computations of confidence. So many answers in this manuscript :)

If you're in Dublin, go and talk to @yfvisser.bsky.social she's doing some really cool stuff on insight into our own biases!!

We have a PhD position for an upcoming project in metacognition research in Potsdam / Berlin. A great opportunity for those interested in cognitive modeling of confidence and EEG. More information at coconeuro.github.io/phd2025 Kindly share this opportunity with potential candidates - Thanks!

Become our new colleague at the #kuleuven!↓↓↓ The Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences invites applications for a full-time Research Professorship in Experimental Cognitive Psychology within the B&C research unit. #PsychSciSky #Neuroscience #Neuroskyence

Dynamic modulation of confidence based on the metacognitive skills of collaborators! Now out in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social New work from @felixhermans.bsky.social Simon Gaia @majafr.bsky.social and me! Paper here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40262423/ Details ↓↓↓

Last day(s) to apply!

PhD position in cognitive computational neuroscience! Join us, & investigate how we can endow domain-specific models of vision (eg DNNs) with domain-general processes such as metacognition or working memory. All details => www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jo... #PsychSciSky #Neuroscience #Neuroskyence

Why does it feel good to be sure? In new work @voalan.bsky.social @andero.bsky.social and I bridge confidence and affect. In perceptual DM, we found a remarkably consistent association between both measures! ↓↓↓ link: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #PsychSciSky #Neuroscience #Neuroskyence

Optimal confidence = P(correct|evidence, time), but how do humans compute this? @pierreledenmat.bsky.social Tom Verguts and I provide a low-dimensional approximation of optimal confidence (the LDC model). paper: journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol... #PsychSciSky #Neuroscience #Neuroskyence

How is confidence related to confidence RTs? @stefherregods.bsky.social @lucvermeylen.bsky.social and I showcase how our recent EAM of confidence accounts for various relationships observed in empirical data. link: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... #PsychSciSky #Neuroscience #Neuroskyence

A causal manipulation of prior beliefs influences the confidence we have in our decisions! Very excited to see this paper work published in Psychological Science. Get the final paper here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38427319/ #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #Neuroscience #Neuroskyence
