Abstract
While detecting rare visual signals subjects were asked to state their confidence that the signal to respond at was actually present whenever they emitted the reaction. Generally this subjective confidence proved to be higher for responses which were correct detections than for those which turned out to be false alarms. However, a substantial number of detections was made with low confidence and a substantial number of false alarms was made with complete certainty that the critical signal was actually present.
