- W4297979056 abstract "Psychophysical methods are a cornerstone of psychology, cognitive science, and neuroscience where they have been used to quantify behavior and its neural correlates for a vast range of mental phenomena. Their power derives from the combination of controlled experiments and rigorous analysis through signal detection theory. Unfortunately, they require many tedious trials and preferably highly trained participants. A recently developed approach, continuous psychophysics, promises to transform the field by abandoning the rigid trial structure involving binary responses and replacing it with continuous behavioral adjustments to dynamic stimuli. However, what has precluded wide adoption of this approach is that current analysis methods do not account for the additional variability introduced by the motor component of the task and therefore recover perceptual thresholds that are larger compared to equivalent traditional psychophysical experiments. Here, we introduce a computational analysis framework for continuous psychophysics based on Bayesian inverse optimal control. We show via simulations and previously published data that this not only recovers the perceptual thresholds but additionally estimates subjects' action variability, internal behavioral costs, and subjective beliefs about the experimental stimulus dynamics. Taken together, we provide further evidence for the importance of including acting uncertainties, subjective beliefs, and, crucially, the intrinsic costs of behavior, even in experiments seemingly only investigating perception.Humans often perceive the world around them subjectively. Factors like light brightness, the speed of a moving object, or an individual's interpretation of facial expressions may influence perception. Understanding how humans perceive the world can provide valuable insights into neuroscience, psychology, and even people’s spending habits, making human perception studies important. However, these so-called psychophysical studies often consist of thousands of simple yes or no questions, which are tedious for adult volunteers, and nearly impossible for children. A new approach called ‘continuous psychophysics’ makes perception studies shorter, easier, and more fun for participants. Instead of answering yes or no questions (like in classical psychophysics experiments), the participants follow an object on a screen with their fingers or eyes. One question about this new approach is whether it accounts for differences that affect how well participants follow the object. For example, some people may have jittery hands, while others may be unmotivated to complete the task. To overcome this issue, Straub and Rothkopf have developed a mathematical model that can correct for differences between participants in the variability of their actions, their internal costs of actions, and their subjective beliefs about how the target moves. Accounting for these factors in a model can lead to more reliable study results. Straub and Rothkopf used data from three previous continuous psychophysics studies to construct a mathematical model that could best predict the experimental results. To test their model, they then used it on data from a continuous psychophysics study conducted alongside a classical psychophysics study. The model was able to correct the results of the continuous psychophysics study so they were more consistent with the results of the classical study. This new technique may enable wider use of continuous psychophysics to study a range of human behavior. It will allow larger, more complex studies that would not have been possible with conventional approaches, as well as enable research on perception in infants and children. Brain scientists may also use this technique to understand how brain activity relates to perception." @default.
