Demonstrations that grip strength has predictive power in relation to a range of health
conditions—even when these are assessed decades later—has motivated claims that hand …

Many models of cognition and of neural computations posit the use and estimation of prior
stimulus statistics,,,: it has long been known that working memory and perception are …

Pioneering human and animal research has yielded a better understanding of the brain
networks involved in somatosensory perception and decision making. New methodical …

In perceptual decision-making, advance knowledge biases people toward choice
alternatives that are more likely to be correct and more likely to be profitable. Accumulation …

When perceptual decisions are coupled to a specific effector, preparatory motor cortical
activity may provide a window into the dynamics of the perceptual choice. Specifically …

How do expectations about the identity of a forthcoming visual stimulus influence the neural
mechanisms of perceptual decision making in the human brain? Previous investigations into …

There is accumulating evidence that prior knowledge about expectations plays an important
role in perception. The Bayesian framework is the standard computational approach to …

Recent studies suggest that a centro-parietal positivity (CPP) in the EEG signal tracks the
absolute (unsigned) strength of accumulated evidence for choices that require the …

An observer detecting a noisy sensory signal is biased by the costs and benefits associated
with its presence or absence. When these costs and benefits are asymmetric, sensory, and …

According to the predictive coding framework, percepts emerge from combinations of
sensory input and prior knowledge, whose relative contributions depend on their reliability …
