Extended Data Fig. 3: Oblique effect in reported confidence and decoded uncertainty.
From: Subjective confidence reflects representation of Bayesian probability in cortex
Effect of stimulus orientation on reported confidence (a) and decoded uncertainty (b). Each participant’s data were first binned based on the absolute distance between presented stimulus orientation and the nearest cardinal axis (equal-width bins), and then averaged across trials and finally across subjects (error bars represent ± 1 s.e.m). Dashed lines indicate best-fitting function (least-squares; quadratic for confidence, linear for decoded uncertainty). Functions were fitted on the trial-by-trial data for each participant, and averaged across participants.
