Abstract: Highlights•Human learning includes a Bayesian (statistically ideal) representation of confidence.•We used high-field (7T) MRI and surface-based analysis for precise brain mapping.•The identified representation of confidence is specific, invariant and functional.•Confidence is neurally distinct from surprise and unpredictability.
