•We use a normative (Bayes optimal) model of oculomotor pursuit.•We average the empirical responses of subjects performing a pursuit paradigm.•We invert these responses using the pursuit model and dynamic causal modelling.•We thereby estimate the precision of subjects’ Bayesian beliefs from their pu...
