Different metacognitive paradigms
This was a talk within the ASSC26 symposium "Broad-Spectrum Introspection"

Can you raise your left eyebrow?
We communicate a lot through small movements of our facial muscles: Emotional nuance relies on motor nuance. But do we know about the tiny but important movements our facial muscles make? It turns out, we don´t know much! Elisa Filevich and Polina Arbuzova talk about how little we actually know about our own movements (of our face and others) and why it might still be enough.

Motor metacognition and agency
In studies of motor metacognition, we "squeeze" a motor task into an otherwise standard metacognitive paradigm: Participants make a discrimination decision that relates to a movement they just made and then rate confidence in their own decision. I will present two studies using motor metacognitive methods that, I will argue, show how metacognitive methods can bring new perspectives into studies of agency.
