Engaging in metacognition (evaluating, controlling, and representing cognitive states) is
paramount for efficient behaviour. In this Review, we examine different types of cognitive …

Reports of expectation suppression have shaped the development of influential predictive
coding-based theories of visual perception. However recent work has highlighted …

For decades, classic theories of action control and action awareness have been built around
the idea that the brain predictively 'cancels' expected action outcomes from perception …

Visual experiences can be triggered externally, by signals coming from the outside world
during perception; or internally, by signals from memory during mental imagery. Imagery and …

Dominant motor control theories propose that the brain predicts and attenuates the
somatosensory consequences of actions, referred to as somatosensory attenuation. Support …

Efference copy‐based forward model mechanisms may help us to distinguish between self‐
generated and externally‐generated sensory consequences. Previous studies have shown …

Sensory attenuation (ie, the phenomenon whereby self-produced sensations are perceived
as less intense compared to externally occurring ones) is among the neurocognitive …

Perceivers can use past experiences to make sense of ambiguous sensory signals.
However, this may be inappropriate when the world changes and past experiences no …

It is widely believed that predicted tactile action outcomes are perceptually attenuated. The
present experiments determined whether predictive mechanisms necessarily generate …

In sensorimotor integration, the brain needs to decide how its predictions should
accommodate novel evidence by 'gating'sensory data depending on the current context …
