The term “predictive brain” depicts one of the most relevant concepts in cognitive
neuroscience which emphasizes the importance of “looking into the future”, namely …

Visual cognition is limited by computational capacity, because the brain can process only a

People see with feeling. We 'gaze','behold','stare','gape'and 'glare'. In this paper, we develop
the hypothesis that the brain's ability to see in the present incorporates a representation of …
