A nonlinear updating algorithm captures suboptimal inference in the presence of signal-dependent noise

Abstract Bayesian models have advanced the idea that humans combine prior beliefs and sensory observations to optimize behavior. How the brain implements Bayes-optimal inference, however, remains poorly understood. Simple behavioral tasks suggest that the brain can flexibly represent probability dis...
