Project description
How post-decisional information affects decision-making
Cognition involves the processing of information, while metacognition examines our control over this process. The cognitive approach encompasses four key features: information processing, internal representation, problem-solving strategies, and heuristics. These features provide insight into how individuals use thought processes to interact with their environment. In this context, the MSCA-funded MetaChange project seeks to understand how post-decisional information influences the cognitive and metacognitive aspects of decision-making. It will investigate the impact of post-decisional information on decision-making, identify the neuronal mechanisms underlying decisional and post-decisional integration, and develop a computational model of decision-making. Ultimately, the project aims to tackle current challenges in the realms of decision-making and metacognition.
Objective
MetaChange is an original and innovative project combining large scale online psychophysics experiments, invasive electrophysiological recordings in epileptic patients and computational modeling in order to brush a comprehensive picture of the effect of post-decisional information on the cognitive and metacognitive components of decision making.
The project will use a causal approach based on stimulus manipulation or direct brain stimulation to explore the effects of post-decisional information on these components of decision making, and assess how these effects unfold in time. We also aim at determining the neuronal mechanisms supporting decisional and post-decisional integration, as well as their link with metacognitive processes such as confidence ratings and changes of mind. Finally, we intend to develop a computational model of decision making rooted in evidence accumulation, accounting not only for response times and response accuracy but also for changes of mind and confidence ratings. Overall, MetaChange aims to address in an interdisciplinary and synthetic manner some of the current challenges in the field of decision making and metacognition.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
