My research relates to human metacognition, this ability we have to monitor and evaluate our own cognitive capacities.
Specifically I examine how a sense of confidence changes in the presence and absence of feedback, and its relationship with metacognition, at the behavioural, computational and neural levels. I investigate how confidence is built and maintained, and the functional role of confidence signals in guiding learning and decision-making.
In addition, I aim at understanding how a global sense of confidence such as individual self-esteem is built from local, task-dependent confidence. Extensions of this work include the study of metacognitive impairments in psychiatric disorders characterised by changes in self-evaluation.
These projects are conducted together with Sophie Bavard (postdoc) and Rayan Kouzy (PhD student, co-supervised with Valérian Chambon).
Our investigations are tightly linked with:
