We have come to recognize the brain as a predictive organ, anticipating attributes of the
incoming sensory stimulation to guide perception and action in the service of adaptive …

The state of the brain and body constantly varies on rapid and slow timescales. These
variations contribute to the apparent noisiness of sensory responses at both the neural and …

Selective attention comprises essential infrastructural functions supporting cognition—
anticipating, prioritizing, selecting, routing, integrating, and preparing signals to guide …

When operating in a complex world, it is essential to have mechanisms that can suppress
distracting information [1, 2]. Such mechanisms might be related to neuronal oscillations …

Current concepts of sensory processing in the cerebral cortex emphasize serial extraction
and recombination of features in hierarchically structured feed-forward networks in order to …

In recent years, numerous studies have tested the relevance of neural oscillations in
neuropsychiatric conditions, highlighting the potential role of changes in temporal …

The pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) has long been considered an interface between the
basal ganglia and motor systems, and its ability to regulate arousal states puts the PPN in a …

Although it is increasingly accepted that temporal expectation can modulate early perceptual
processing, the underlying neural computations remain unknown. In the present study, we …

The brain adapts to dynamic environments by adjusting the attentional gain or precision
afforded to salient and predictable sensory input. Previous research suggests that this …

It is increasingly clear that we extract patterns of temporal regularity between events to
optimize information processing. Whereas some of the mechanisms for facilitating action …
