Our brains can represent expected future states of our sensory environment. Recent work
has shown that, when we expect a specific stimulus to appear at a specific time, we can …

Perceptual decisions are made when sensory evidence accumulated over time reaches a
decision threshold. Because decisions are also guided by prior information, one important …

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 …

Perception is strongly influenced by expectations. Accordingly, perception has sometimes
been cast as a process of inference, whereby sensory inputs are combined with prior …

How do we combine memories with sensory input to make decisions? Previous research
has shown that perceptual decisions can be made on the basis of prior expectations …

ROMÁN ROSSI-POOL, JOSÉ VERGARA, AND RANULFO ROMO abstract Here we review
the neural computations involved in vibrotactile detection and discrimination tasks across …

From the noisy information bombarding our senses, our brains must construct percepts that
are veridical–reflecting the true state of the world–and informative–conveying what we did …

Perception and perceptual decision-making are strongly facilitated by prior knowledge about
the probabilistic structure of the world. While the computational benefits of using prior …

Perceptual decision-making, the process of using information from our senses to guide
behavior, is successfully described by evidence accumulation, where noisy sensory …

During perception, the brain combines information received from its senses with prior
information about the outside world. The mathematical concept of probabilistic inference has …
