Faculty House University Seminar on Behavioral and Cognitive Neurosience
Steve Fleming (NYU)
Towards a neuroscience of self knowledge:
How do we know that we know? The neural basis of self-knowledge (also known as metacognition) is poorly understood. In particular, it is unknown why some individuals have accurate self-knowledge – their confidence in their abilities tends to be accurate – whereas others have less precise impressions of themselves. In my talk I will describe how the application of methods from psychophysics and decision-making provides new perspectives on metacognition. Dynamic models of decision-making allow us to make detailed predictions of subjective confidence, and compare these predictions against subjects’ behaviour. Drawing on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, I will describe how representations of confidence are integral to the decision process. However, variability in metacognition across individuals also reveals a general constraint in accessing and reporting subjective confidence. Convergent evidence from structural and functional MRI and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) sheds light on the neural basis for this constraint on self-knowledge.
