Feel the Beat: The Impact of Rhythms on Dynamic Visual Search

This study shows that auditory rhythms improve visual task performance in a non-rhythmic search task, with benefits depending on rhythm tempo and individual motor tempo.

Neural evidence for action-related somatosensory predictions

The paper investigates neural predictions of tactile consequences during self-initiated movements using EEG, finding predictive activity before tactile stimuli and a stimulus-specific omission response.

Supra second timing reflects oscillatory and aperiodic EEG dynamics

This study investigates supra-second timing using EEG, finding that domain-general neural activity, not specialized mechanisms, underlies timing accuracy in interval reproduction tasks.

Prediction Is Preserved but Long-Timescale Benefits Are Reduced in ADHD

This study shows that individuals with ADHD maintain the ability to form predictions but show reduced long-term benefits from temporal prediction in a dynamic visual task.

Similarity in Spontaneous Tempo Impacts Flow Experience and Coordination Dynamics During Joint Performance

This study examines how individual spontaneous tempo affects coordination and flow experience during joint improvisation tasks, finding greater flow with similar tempi and more dynamic coordination with less similarity.

From Individual to Shared Tempo: How Spontaneous Tempo Preferences Impact Joint Performance

This study examines how individuals with different spontaneous tempo preferences adjust their rhythms during joint tasks, finding they converge on a common tempo while retaining personal biases.

A universal of speech timing: Intonation units form low frequency rhythms and balance cross-linguistic syllable rate variability

The paper analyzes intonation unit (IU) rates across 48 languages and finds a low-frequency rhythm with minimal variation, suggesting IUs balance information content more than syllables.

Computational Mechanisms of Temporal Anticipation in Perception and Action

The paper investigates how temporal anticipation affects perception and action by showing that perceptual sensitivity and motor responses are influenced by temporal structure through a logarithmic transformation of event hazard rate and temporal-estimation noise.

Motor preparation tracks decision boundary crossing in temporal decision-making

The paper investigates the dynamics of motor preparation during temporal decision-making and finds that different decisions develop sequentially with distinct neural activity patterns.

The representation of stimulus features during stable fixation and active vision

The paper uses EEG-decoding to study how spatial frequency features are represented during stable fixation and active vision, finding accelerated decoding of peripheral features during saccades.

Universal rhythmic architecture uncovers distinct modes of neural dynamics

The paper introduces a rhythmicity measure to analyze brain activity across multiple datasets, revealing a universal spectral architecture with high- and low-rhythmicity bands that reflect distinct modes of neural dynamics.

A bounded accumulation model of temporal generalization outperforms existing models and captures modality differences and learning effects

This paper extends the bounded accumulation model to temporal generalization tasks, showing it outperforms existing models and reveals modality and learning effects.

Decoding Remapped Spatial Information in the Peri-Saccadic Period

The paper uses EEG decoding to determine when saccadic remapping of visual stimuli occurs, finding that remapped information becomes available ~180 ms post-stimulus onset when the stimulus is presented 100-200 ms before saccade onset.

Hello From the Other Side: Robust Contralateral Interference in Tactile Detection

The paper investigates how irrelevant tactile stimulation at one body site affects tactile detection at another, finding robust interference effects and suggesting early integration of sensory inputs across body sides.

Intonation Units in spontaneous speech evoke a neural response

The paper identifies a neural response specific to Intonation Unit boundaries in spontaneous speech using EEG and GLM analysis.

Perplexity about periodicity repeats perpetually: A response to Brookshire

The paper corrects a previous conclusion about false-positive rates in periodicity analysis by demonstrating an incorrect null-hypothesis implementation and showing low false-positive rates with a correct approach.

Rhythmic Modulation of Visual Discrimination is Dependent on Individuals' Spontaneous Motor Tempo

The paper investigates how individual differences in spontaneous motor tempo influence the effect of external rhythmic visual stimuli on visual discrimination performance.

Sequences of Intonation Units Form a ~1 Hz Rhythm

The paper investigates how sequences of Intonation Units (IUs) form a ~1 Hz rhythm in speech and shows they are a significant periodic cue in the speech envelope.

Pre-stimulus beta-band activity is a signature of statistical learning

The paper identifies pre-stimulus beta-band EEG activity as a neural signature of statistical learning, showing it correlates with learning outcomes and evolves with pattern exposure.

Where does time go when you blink?

The paper investigates how spontaneous eye blinks affect the perception of time for visual stimuli, finding that blinks lead to underestimation of visual duration but not auditory duration.

The interaction of orientation-specific surround suppression and visual-spatial attention

The paper investigates how voluntary visual-spatial attention affects orientation-specific surround suppression in contrast discrimination tasks, finding that attention influences perceptual sensitivity but not the baseline contrast perception.
