"Highest" confidence is 100%, when the brain does not implement any consideration of failure.
Next highest increment is over 99%, I suspect. Call that my guess.
Edit: I'm an idiot - ignore this response. I thought it was asking "what is the highest confidence level that the brain implements in considering the probability of a proposition", which is different and interesting.
I don't think the brain really implements proper probablistic confidence levels.
Probably not, no.
