Fig 5. The ability of VS neurons to differentiate visual stimuli is not influenced by confidence judgment or novelty of the stimulus.
(a) AUC of VS neurons for low-and high confidence trials (p=0.31, bootstrap test). (b) AUC of VS neurons for novel and familiar trials (p=0.54, bootstrap test). (c) Pairwise comparison of AUC values as a function of confidence (p=0.53, pairwise sign-test). (d) Pairwise comparison of AUC values as a function of familiarity (p=0.41, pairwise sign-test). In (c–d), every data point is one VS neuron (n=128 in total). All pairwise comparisons showed no significant difference. Only correct trials are considered throughout.
