Expectation in perceptual decision making: neural and computational mechanisms
Sensory signals are highly structured in both space and time. These structural regularities in
visual information allow expectations to form about future stimulation, thereby facilitating …

The past, present, and future of selection history
The last ten years of attention research have witnessed a revolution, replacing a theoretical
dichotomy (top-down vs. bottom-up control) with a trichotomy (biased by current goals …

Statistical learning research: A critical review and possible new directions.
Statistical learning (SL) is involved in a wide range of basic and higher-order cognitive
functions and is taken to be an important building block of virtually all current theories of …

[HTML][HTML] Great expectations: is there evidence for predictive coding in auditory cortex?
Predictive coding is possibly one of the most influential, comprehensive, and controversial
theories of neural function. While proponents praise its explanatory potential, critics object …

Selection history: How reward modulates selectivity of visual attention
Visual attention enables us to selectively prioritize or suppress information in the
environment. Prominent models concerned with the control of visual attention differentiate …

Statistical regularities modulate attentional capture.
The present study investigated whether statistical regularities can influence visual selection.
We used the classic additional singleton task in which participants search for a salient shape …

How does the brain learn environmental structure? Ten core principles for understanding the neurocognitive mechanisms of statistical learning
CM Conway - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2020 - Elsevier
Despite a growing body of research devoted to the study of how humans encode
environmental patterns, there is still no clear consensus about the nature of the …

Rhythmic facilitation of sensory processing: A critical review
Here we review the role of brain oscillations in sensory processing. We examine the idea
that neural entrainment of intrinsic oscillations underlies the processing of rhythmic stimuli in …

The attention habit: How reward learning shapes attentional selection
BA Anderson - Annals of the new York Academy of Sciences, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
There is growing consensus that reward plays an important role in the control of attention.
Until recently, reward was thought to influence attention indirectly by modulating task …

The sense of agency in perception, behaviour and human–machine interactions
The sense of agency refers to the subjective feeling of controlling one's own actions, and
through them, external events. The sense of agency is a byproduct of human movements …
