This study uses MEG and decoding analysis to show that predictable distractors are proactively suppressed in the brain, with neural activity extending from pre- to post-search phases, indicating integrated attentional mechanisms.

A preregistered multimodal neuroimaging study across 256 human participants directly tests Integrated Information Theory against Global Neuronal Workspace Theory, confirming some predictions while revealing major empirical challenges for both.

This study uses MEG and RIFT to show that statistical learning of distractor suppression reduces neural excitability in early visual cortex, but not alpha-band activity.
