The more we anticipate a response to a predictable stimulus, the faster we react. This
empirical observation has been confirmed and quantified by many investigators suggesting …

Recent studies have associated increasing temporal expectations with synchronization of
higher frequency oscillations and suppression of lower frequencies. In this experiment, we …

The ability to generate temporal predictions is fundamental for adaptive behavior. Precise
timing at the time-scale of seconds is critical, for instance to predict trajectories or to select …

Predicting the timing of incoming information allows the brain to optimize information
processing in dynamic environments. Behaviorally, temporal expectations have been shown …

Response to a stimulus is faster when a subject is attending and knows beforehand how to
respond. It has been suggested recently that this occurs because ongoing neuronal activity …

It has been hypothesized that internal oscillations can synchronize (ie, entrain) to external
environmental rhythms, thereby facilitating perception and behaviour. To date, evidence for …

The physiological state of the brain before an incoming stimulus has substantial
consequences for subsequent behavior and neural processing. For example, the phase of …

Temporal expectations have been shown to enhance visual analysis of task-relevant events,
especially when these are coupled with spatial expectations. Oscillatory brain activity …

Predicting the timing of upcoming events enables efficient resource allocation and action
preparation. Rhythmic streams, such as music, speech, and biological motion, constitute a …

Oscillatory activity in sensory cortices reflects changes in local excitation–inhibition balance,
and recent work suggests that phase signatures of ongoing oscillations predict the …
