Implicit Neurofeedback Training of Feature-Based Attention Promotes Biased Sensory Processing during Integrative Decision-Making.

ABSTRACT: Complex perceptual decisions, in which information must be integrated across multiple sources of evidence, are ubiquitous but are not well understood. Such decisions rely on sensory processing of each individual source of evidence, and are therefore vulnerable to bias if sensory processing resources are disproportionately allocated among visual inputs. To investigate this, we developed an implicit neurofeedback protocol embedded within a complex decision-making task to bias sensory processing in favor of one source of evidence over another. Human participants of both sexes (N = 30) were asked to report the average motion direction across two fields of oriented moving bars. Bars of different orientations flickered at different frequencies, thus inducing steady-state visual evoked pot
