Expectation in perceptual decision making: neural and computational mechanisms
C Summerfield, FP De Lange - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2014 - nature.com
Sensory signals are highly structured in both space and time. These structural regularities in
visual information allow expectations to form about future stimulation, thereby facilitating …

Top-down modulation: bridging selective attention and working memory
A Gazzaley, AC Nobre - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2012 - cell.com
Selective attention, the ability to focus our cognitive resources on information relevant to our
goals, influences working memory (WM) performance. Indeed, attention and working …

The neural basis of attentional control in visual search
M Eimer - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2014 - cell.com
How do we localise and identify target objects among distractors in visual scenes? The role
of selective attention in visual search has been studied for decades and the outlines of a …

Prior expectations evoke stimulus templates in the primary visual cortex
Sensory processing is strongly influenced by prior expectations. Valid expectations have
been shown to lead to improvements in perception as well as in the quality of sensory …

Top-down and bottom-up factors in threat-related perception and attention in anxiety
Anxiety is characterized by the anticipation of aversive future events. The importance of
prestimulus anticipatory factors, such as goals and expectations, is well-established in both …

A neural basis for real-world visual search in human occipitotemporal cortex
Mammals are highly skilled in rapidly detecting objects in cluttered natural environments, a
skill necessary for survival. What are the neural mechanisms mediating detection of objects …

High-resolution imaging of expertise reveals reliable object selectivity in the fusiform face area related to perceptual performance
RW McGugin, JC Gatenby, JC Gore… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
The fusiform face area (FFA) is a region of human cortex that responds selectively to faces,
but whether it supports a more general function relevant for perceptual expertise is debated …

Causal evidence for expression of perceptual expectations in category-selective extrastriate regions
M Gandolfo, PE Downing - Current Biology, 2019 - cell.com
Expectations about a visual event shape the way it is perceived [1–4]. For example,
expectations induced by valid cues signaling aspects of a visual target can improve …

Modulation of working-memory maintenance by directed attention
J Lepsien, I Thornton, AC Nobre - Neuropsychologia, 2011 - Elsevier
Many current models of working memory (WM) emphasize a close relationship between WM
and attention. Recently it was demonstrated that attention can be dynamically and …

Preparatory attention in visual cortex
Top‐down attention is the mechanism that allows us to selectively process goal‐relevant
aspects of a scene while ignoring irrelevant aspects. A large body of research has …
