This study investigates how humans learn from implicit feedback (metacognitive confidence) compared to explicit feedback in perceptual decision-making. Using simultaneous EEG-fMRI, participants performed a motion direction discrimination task with intermixed explicit and no-feedback trials. EEG decoding isolated single-trial confidence, revealing separable neural signatures of implicit and explicit feedback along a dorsal-ventral striatal gradient. These signals integrated in the external globus pallidus (GPe), potentially broadcasting updates to improve cortical decision processing via the thalamus and insular cortex.
