Self-generated stimuli have been found to elicit a reduced sensory response compared with
externally-generated stimuli. However, much of the literature has not adequately controlled …

The brain's response to sensory input is modulated by prediction. For example, sounds that
are produced by one's own actions, or those that are strongly predicted by environmental …

We have recently shown that the efficiency in stopping a response, measured using the stop
signal task, is related to GABAA-mediated short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) in the …

Across a series of studies, our laboratory has shown that the efficiency of action stopping is
associated with the strength of GABA A-mediated short-intracortical inhibition (SICI) as …

Proactive cognitive control is thought to rely on the active maintenance of goals or contextual
information in working memory. It is often measured using the AX-CPT, in which antecedent …

Response inhibition is our ability to suppress or cancel actions when required. Deficits in
response inhibition are linked with a range of psychopathological disorders including …

Preparing actions to achieve goals, overriding habitual responses, and substituting actions
that are no longer relevant are aspects of motor control often assumed to be driven by …

Action-effect predictions are believed to facilitate movement based on its association with
sensory objectives and suppress the neurophysiological response to self-versus externally …

Environmental cues associated with an action can prime the motor system, decreasing
response times and activating motor regions of the brain. However, when task goals change …

One of the mechanisms proposed to underpin perceptual learning is the reduction in
salience of predicted stimuli. This reduction is held to affect the representation of …
