Implicit variations of temporal predictability: Shaping the neural oscillatory and behavioural response

SK Herbst, J Obleser - Neuropsychologia, 2017 - Elsevier
Being able to predict when an event will occur (temporal predictability) can help us prepare
and time our responses. We here sought to delineate the neural and behavioural corollaries …

[HTML][HTML] Task difficulty modulates voluntary attention allocation, but not distraction in an auditory distraction paradigm

M Volosin, J Horváth - Brain Research, 2020 - Elsevier
Keeping task-relevant sensory events in the focus of attention while ignoring irrelevant ones
