Back in the 90s, when I was in grad school, sensory decisions were analyzed with “signal detection theory”. Since then, many have found it more fruitful to use logistic classification: the observer weighs the factors, uses their sum to bias a coin, and flips the coin.
However, a student starting today would find the relevant information scattered around. To fix this, I wrote “Sensory decisions as logistic classification": https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.01.17.576029v1. If you have suggestions, please let me know!
Y’all still on Twitter need to leave. It’s a fascist site now, and the only thing you’re doing over there is helping fascists spread fascism by keeping their fascism broadcasting app alive longer than it needs to be.

👋🏻 Ciao Mastodonians! After lurking around here for a couple of weeks, I am ready for a proper #introduction.
I was born and raised in Sardinia, Italy. I am a trained neuroscientist who left academia to join the #openscience movement and fight for more open and equitable research evaluation with other awesome folks at PREreview. I’m a mom and a wife, and I look forward to building community over here.
We are looking for postdocs! (1) To study how brainwide neuronal activity supports diverse behaviors (w Kenneth Harris); (2) To relate the activity of a neuron to its pre- and postsynaptic neurons across cortex (w Alipasha Vaziri and Federico Rossi). https://tinyurl.com/CortexlabPostdoc
