Distinct basal ganglia contributions to learning from implicit and explicit value signals in perceptual decision-making

T. Balsdon, M. A. Pisauro, et al.

This fascinating research by Tarryn Balsdon, M. Andrea Pisauro, and Marios G. Philiastides explores the nuances of how we learn from implicit versus explicit feedback in decision-making. By employing advanced EEG-fMRI techniques, the study unveils unique neural signatures that could revolutionize our understanding of cognitive processes. Dive into the intricate world of perceptual decision-making!

Abstract
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.
