The human prefrontal cortex (PFC) constitutes the structural basis underlying flexible
cognitive control, where mixed-selective neural populations encode multiple task features to …

The regularities of the world render an intricate interplay between past and present. Even
across independent trials, current-trial perception can be automatically shifted by preceding …

Binary classification, an act of sorting items into two classes by setting a boundary, is biased
by recent history. One common form of such bias is repulsive bias, a tendency to sort an item …

Randomness is a fundamental property of human behavior. It occurs both in the form of
intrinsic random variability, say when repetitions of a task yield slightly different behavioral …

Animals actively sample their environment through orienting actions such as saccadic eye
movements. Saccadic targets are selected based both on sensory evidence immediately …

The speed–accuracy trade-off (SAT) is the tendency for fast decisions to come at the
expense of accurate performance. Evidence accumulation models such as the drift diffusion …

Background The brain uses recent history when forming perceptual decisions. This results in
carryover effects in perception. Although separate sensory and decisional carryover effects …

In this study, we investigated serial effects on the perception of auditory vowel stimuli across
three experimental setups with different degrees of context variability. Aligning with recent …

Contingency learning can involve learning that the identity of one stimulus in a sequence
predicts the identity of the next stimulus. It remains unclear, however, whether such learning …

Abstract The Predatory Imminence Continuum Theory proposes that defensive behaviors
depend on the proximity of a threat. While the neural mechanisms underlying this proposal …
