The foundation for modern understanding of how we make perceptual decisions about what
we see or where to look comes from considering the optimal way to perform these …

Bayesian inference has emerged as a general framework that captures how organisms
make decisions under uncertainty. Recent experimental findings reveal disparate …

Statistical regularities in the environment create prior beliefs that we rely on to optimize our
behavior when sensory information is uncertain. Bayesian theory formalizes how prior …

Climbing fiber inputs to the cerebellum encode error signals that instruct learning. Recently,
evidence has accumulated to suggest that the cerebellum is also involved in the processing …

Background Sequential effects of environmental stimuli are ubiquitous in most behavioral
tasks involving magnitude estimation, memory, decision making, and emotion. The human …

The theory of predictive processing posits that the brain computes expectations to process
information predictively. Empirical evidence in support of this theory, however, is scarce and …

Transitioning between gravitational environments results in a central reinterpretation of
sensory information, producing an adapted sensorimotor state suitable for motor actions and …

Prior knowledge facilitates our perception and goal-directed behaviors, particularly when
sensory input is lacking or noisy. However, the neural mechanisms underlying the …

Due to the close relationship between oculomotor behavior and visual processing, eye
movements have been studied in many different areas of research over the last few …

Smooth pursuit eye movements maintain the line of sight on smoothly moving targets.
Although often studied as a response to sensory motion, pursuit anticipates changes in …
