Hi Tahereh—Just in case you missed my recent post, here's the link to my preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

So lucky to have two wonderful mentors behind this project @apurvaratan.bsky.social & @dobyrahnev.bsky.social

Hi Tahereh — Good to hear from you. We haven't posted it yet, but I'll put it on arXiv in the next few days. I'll send you the link once it's up, in case you'd like to add it now or later.

Huge thanks to Medha Shekhar, @kaixue98.bsky.social, @manurausch.bsky.social, & @dobyrahnev.bsky.social for their guidance and collaboration on this project.

n/n

These findings show a clear behavioral difference between manipulating the task-defining feature (orientation) and other auxiliary manipulations that only affect stimulus clarity, offering a way to predict how novel manipulations affect confidence and accuracy.

4/n

Manipulating other features—size, duration, spatial frequency, and noise—though visually distinct, showed strikingly similar effects: they (1) affected confidence more strongly than accuracy, (2) showed sub-additive or no interaction with other features, & (3) violated the Folded-X pattern.

3/n

In an orientation discrimination task, manipulating the “task-defining” tilt offset of the Gabor demonstrated three unique effects: it (1) affected accuracy more strongly than confidence, (2) showed supra-additive interaction with other features, & (3) exhibited the Folded-X pattern.

Hi Tahereh — thanks for the note! Glad to hear our study can be of use. I’d be happy to chat more and hear about your work at NeurIPS.
