Different types of uncertainty in multisensory perceptual decision making (2023)
Journal Article
Aston, S., Nardini, M., & Beierholm, U. (2023). Different types of uncertainty in multisensory perceptual decision making. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 378(1886), Article 20220349. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2022.0349

Efficient decision-making requires accounting for sources of uncertainty (noise, or variability). Many studies have shown how the nervous system is able to account for perceptual uncertainty (noise, variability) that arises from limitations in its ow...
