Post-decision wagering task assessing confidence.

The agent first performs a perceptual discrimination task (see for more details the PerceptualDecisionMaking task). On a random half of the trials, the agent is given the option to abort the sensory discrimination and to choose instead a sure-bet option that guarantees a small reward. Therefore, the agent is encouraged to choose the sure-bet option when it is uncertain about its perceptual decision.
