Denoising forced-choice detection data
1. Introduction
2. Theoretical justification and practical implementation
Notations
Simulation studies
same number of trials
2AFC Yes-no
- criterion -dependent
- criterion shift
- poorer estimation of threshold and slope
- imprecise statistically
- response bias
- Running long sessions to obtain dependable estimates
- Settling for short sessions with large sampling variance

YES!
Denoising 2-AFC detection data
F(x): from 0 to 1
the probability that an observer detects a stimulus of level x in a yes–no trial is given by F(x)
gamma: false alarm rate
