Stochastic Resonance and Perceptual Decision Making Under Inattention

Abstract

Recent findings suggest that in the unattended periphery, noisy processing leads to heightened perceptual confidence, as well as a more liberal detection bias. To that end, the objective of this project is to develop a formal model that relates these findings to the phenomenon of stochastic resonance, i.e. how increased noise can paradoxically promote detection of a signal.
