Alejandro Lorca-Vyhmeister – Metacognitive Monitoring and Control in Multisensory Contexts

Supervisor: Pascal Mamassian (ENS)

Alejandro Lorca-Vyhmeister, supervised by Pascal Mamassian, studies how audiovisual integration shapes metacognitive monitoring and control.

How does confidence in our decisions help us regulate behaviour in environments with multiple sensory signals? The PhD project investigates how audiovisual integration may influence the relationship between metacognitive monitoring and control. I will explore this question through behavioral experiments grounded in the psychophysical paradigm both in children and adults. Critically, this could help to clarify the functioning of our metacognitive system in natural environments.
