Here the authors report evidence for the neural correlates of confidence in the primate pulvinar, a visual thalamic nucleus. Data from electrophysiological recordings, functional silencing and theoretical modeling indicate that pulvinar activity encodes a subject's certainty of visual categorization and contributes to perceptual confidence, which potentially underlies visual awareness.
