Decisions in everyday life are prone to error. Standard models typically assume that errors during perceptual decisions are due to noise.

Here we show that there are experimental tasks for which one can analyse the exact spatio-temporal details of a dynamic sensory noise and better understand variability in human perceptual decisions. Using a new experimental visual tracking task and a novel Bayesian decision making mode ...[more]
