Belief updating and sensory attenuation in schizophrenia
Whether delusions track a failure of belief revision, a failure to attenuate self-generated sensation, or both. A beads task and a force-matching task in the same people.
Research
Three open questions and two abstracts already published. The open questions share a method: all of them are about how a brain weighs what it already believes against what it is currently being told.
Open

Published abstracts
