• Human confidence judgments reflect reliability-based hierarchical integration of contextual information

  Schustek, Philipp; Hyafil, Alexandre; Moreno-Bote, Rubén (Nature Research, 2019)

  Our immediate observations must be supplemented with contextual information to resolve ambiguities. However, the context is often ambiguous too, and thus it should be inferred itself to guide behavior. Here, we introduce ...
