Representation of Confidence Associated with a Decision by Neurons in the Parietal Cortex
Open accessAbstract
Decisive Monkeys: Decision-making is a central theme in current research in cognitive neuroscience. Behavioral protocols have provided an entry into explorations of the neural processes that underlie decision-making. Empirical studies have provided support for a diffusion model in which information accumulates over time until a threshold is reached, with noisiness in the inputs related to decision errors. Kiani and Shadlen (p. 759 ) developed a behavioral task to study choice certainty and identified the corresponding neuronal representations in monkeys. The monkeys were allowed to choose to opt out of an uncertain, higher reward choice in favor of a certain, lower payoff. The same neurons that encoded the information used to make a choice also encoded the extent of certainty, which in humans would be described as the degree of confidence in one's decision.
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
Rhesus monkeys performing a random-dot direction task with a post-decision sure-bet option opted out more often when motion was weak or brief and when lateral intraparietal (LIP) firing rates were intermediate. The same LIP neurons that represented the direction decision also encoded choice certainty, linking decision formation and confidence in one population.
Key findings
- Monkeys chose the sure target more frequently for weaker motion strengths and shorter stimulus durations (p<10−8) and when the probability of making an error was higher (p<10−8). When they waived the sure bet, direction-choice accuracy was better than on trials without the post-decision wager (p<10−3).
- In 70 LIP neurons, activity before sure-target onset was intermediate when monkeys later chose the sure target. For motion toward Tin, activity was significantly smaller for Ts choices than Tin choices (p=0.007, ANOVA); for motion toward Topp, activity was significantly larger for Ts choices than Topp choices (p=0.001). The variance for Ts choices was smaller than expected from a mixture of Tin and Topp states (p=4.7×10−5, F-test).
- Single-trial deviation from an intermediate firing rate was inversely related to the probability of choosing the sure bet (p=2.3×10−5). Residual LIP fluctuations, after accounting for motion strength and direction, also predicted sure-target choice (p=4.0×10−5), and buildup-rate deviation did so as well (p=0.017; not explained by motion strength, p=0.0018).
- In 19 neurons with the sure target in the response field, activity during motion and delay was not significantly modulated and was uninformative about choosing or forgoing Ts (p>0.1 for both directions). After Ts onset, the visual response was slightly larger when monkeys chose Ts (p<0.01, median difference = 7.7%). A Bayesian sequential-sampling model with three free parameters fit behavior (R2=0.97 and 0.98) and predicted accuracy on waived-Ts trials (R2=0.97).
Methods
- Two rhesus monkeys made direction decisions about dynamic random-dot motion; difficulty was varied by motion coherence and viewing duration. On a random half of trials, after the motion was extinguished, a sure-target option appeared at least 500 ms later, offering a small certain reward instead of the direction choice.
- Extracellular recordings were made from 70 LIP neurons with a direction-choice target in the response field, plus 19 neurons with the sure target in the response field. Analyses included population and single-trial logistic regression, ANOVA/F-tests, buildup-rate estimation, and a bounded evidence accumulation/Bayesian sequential sampling model.
Limitations
- The paper states that the agreement between the model and LIP responses is only approximate, presumably because neurons besides those recorded contribute to certainty, and that a single neuron’s influence on the post-decision wager is expected to be small.
- The paper does not have a dedicated limitations section. Evident from the text: the neural evidence is correlational, with no causal manipulation; the main neural sample is 70 LIP neurons in two monkeys, with a smaller 19-neuron sample for the sure-target-in-RF configuration; and choice certainty is inferred from post-decision wagering behavior.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
