maybe there's a way to study metacognitive monitoring w/o collecting confidence? could be handy for studying animals and infants?
Confidence dinner at #VSS last night. The group is getting larger each year!
Consciousness friends: I'm genuinely curious what you'd respond to Brad's essay? My typical response to the question if I study consciousness is that "I don't know what consciousness is". Perhaps this is my poor way of expressing discomfort with studying scientifically a first-person concept.
Abstract. This study explores the use of response time (RT) data in type-2 receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, a method traditionally used to examine the relationship between confidence ...

Progress in AI is turning machine consciousness from a philosophical curiosity into a societal issue, and has led to criticism of the widespread computational functionalism framework. Biological Natur...
