People think about their thoughts and decisions a lot, such as when they judge how well
they are performing a task or evaluate the quality of their decision processes and products�…

Humans are metacognitive: they monitor and control their cognition. Our hypothesis was that
neuronal correlates of metacognition reside in the same brain areas responsible for�…

In an uncertain and ambiguous world, effective decision making requires that subjects form
and maintain a belief about the correctness of their choices, a process called meta�…

Metacognition refers to the ability to reflect on and monitor one's cognitive processes, such
as perception, memory and decision-making. Metacognition is often assessed in the lab by�…

To what extent can brain-based investigations inform research on metacognition? Most view
metacognition as a set of intricately complex and dynamic processes—such as those�…

Determining the psychological, computational, and neural bases of confidence and
uncertainty holds promise for understanding foundational aspects of human metacognition�…

The human capacity to compute the likelihood that a decision is correct—known as
metacognition—has proven difficult to study in isolation as it usually cooccurs with decision�…

Visual metacognition depends on regions within the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Two areas in
particular have been implicated repeatedly: the dorsolateral PFC (DLPFC) and the anterior�…

What are the cognitive mechanisms underlying perceptual metacognition? Prior research
indicates that prefrontal cortex (PFC) contributes to metacognitive performance, suggesting�…

Human metacognition, or the capacity to introspect on one's own mental states, has been
mostly characterized through confidence reports in visual tasks. A pressing question is to�…
