For many years, the dominant theoretical framework guiding research into the neural origins
of perceptual experience has been provided by hierarchical feedforward models, in which …

The processing of temporal intervals is essential to create causal maps and to predict future
events so as to best adapt one's behavior. In this review, we explore the different brain …

Eye movements are inhibited prior to the onset of temporally-predictable visual targets. This
oculomotor inhibition effect could be considered a marker for the formation of temporal …

Temporal expectations enable anticipatory brain states that prepare us for upcoming
perception and action. We investigated the purpose-dependent nature and consequences of …

Working memory enables us to retain past sensations in service of anticipated task
demands. How we prepare for anticipated task demands during working memory retention …

Understanding how cognitive functions arise from computations occurring in the brain
requires the ability to measure and perturb neural activity while the relevant circuits are …

The primary auditory cortex (A1) is an essential, integrative node that encodes the
behavioral relevance of acoustic stimuli, predictions, and auditory-guided decision-making …

Successful completion of sensory decision-making requires focusing on relevant stimuli,
adequate signal/noise ratio for stimulus discrimination, and stimulus valence evaluation …

Anticipating an odor improves detection and perception, yet the underlying neural
mechanisms of olfactory anticipation are not well understood. In this study, we used human …

Dynamic attending theory suggests that predicting the timing of upcoming sounds can assist
in focusing attention toward them. However, whether similar predictive processes are also …
