  • Join us for the Royal Society Francis Crick Prize Lecture given by 2024 winner Professor Stephen Fleming.
    The human brain has a remarkable ability to monitor and evaluate its own thinking, known as metacognition. Metacognition is crucial to success, enabling us to recognise gaps in our knowledge and collaborate effectively. Problems with metacognition are linked to maladaptive behaviours, such as endorsing false beliefs or being unaware of our own limitations. Professor Stephen Fleming will discuss how his group is developing the tools to isolate how this extraordinary capacity for self-reflection and self-awareness is supported by the functions of the human brain. By combining mathematical models of human behaviour with cutting-edge brain imaging techniques, the team is discovering the building blocks of metacognition, and asking how these pieces come together to support a rich awareness of own skills and capabilities. This work is uncovering the neurobiology of a core aspect of what makes us human, with wide-ranging implications for mental health, education and AI.

    Thank you so much to Professor Fleming and The Royal Society for this lecture. I was in attendance, and I always enjoy these events, not to mention my fascination with the brain. I am an informal researcher but more of an awareness raiser, and I am always interested in what the brain can do, as well as how the ASD (or aspies) amongst us think in alignment with others.

    In Hindu philosophy there's this metaphor of two birds sitting on a branch of a tree called life. One is doing all stuff ,the conscious mind. The other bird is just watching .

      The watching bird knows that it’s watching itself watching the other bird. And there goes the loop. No philosophy , hindu or otherwise solved anything.

    Thank you extremely interested in metacognitive agents. I have been doing it since at least 1983, autistic audhd and late dx.

    Time to further research of "metacognition" during advanced meditation : Wouldn't meditation alter the cognition processes dynamically !

    Just go to the talk directly at around 7:00 . All else is other people talking about the speaker, we don’t need to hear that, we just came here for the talk.

    DeepSeek is using metacognition by this definition, when assessing and processing incremental steps of reasoning (and describing them 1:02:45)
    1:06:20 Sophists and other dark triad types come to mind! Jung said something like "science is only one among many states of the mind".

    Metacognitive fingerprint related graphs have a problematic explanation. The neural network cohort there may seem too causative if presented side by side.
