Excited to be giving a talk at #VSS2026 tomorrow, May 19! Come by the Decision Making session at 11 am, Talk Room 2. I'll be presenting our new work on how sequential evidence accumulation adapts to evidence reliability 🎯 Abstract: www.visionsciences.org/presentation...

(4/5) We introduce a novel normative Bayesian updating model that is dynamically constrained by optimal performance-effort trade-offs. With two free parameters, the model accurately predicts the rich dependencies of subjects’ accumulation behavior on the evidence schedule.

(2/5) We address this question with a combination of targeted psychophysical perturbation experiments and computational modeling. Our study uncovers previously unknown properties of evidence accumulation that challenge the standard view of this process as a stationary process of leaky integration.
