Topic: Signal Detection Theory

Background and Objectives. Predictive coding theory proposes that perceptual experience arises from the integrations between subjective (e.g., prior) and objective reality (e.g., visual input). The purpose of the present work was to map the behavioural and electrophysiological mechanisms behind the integration of prior knowledge into human perceptual decision-making. Methods. We employed computational (signal detection theory, drift diffusion model) and electrophysiological (time-frequency decomposition) analyses to explore the impact that prior information has on perceptual decision.
