Expectations and Motor Signals Shape Auditory Evoked Responses in an Independent Manner

The paper shows that sensory attenuation occurs even without prior expectation, suggesting it is not driven by learning but by motor signals.

High or Low Expectations: Expected intensity of action outcome is embedded in action ‎kinetics

The paper shows that expected intensity of a sensory outcome affects the force applied during an action, with lower expected intensity leading to higher applied force.

Same Action, Different Meaning: Neural substrates of Semantic Goal Representation

The paper investigates how semantic goals are represented in the brain during actions with identical sensory outcomes, finding distinct neural patterns in frontoparietal and visual regions.

Single-cell activity in human STG during perception of phonemes is organized according to manner of articulation

The paper shows that single-cell activity in human STG during phoneme perception is organized by articulatory features, supporting auditory theories over motor theories.

Voluntary actions modulate perception and neural representation of action-consequences in a hand-dependent manner

The paper shows that voluntary hand actions modulate perception and neural responses in visual cortex depending on hand and visual field laterality.

Motor-evoked neural responses in auditory cortex are associated with improved sensitivity to self-generated sounds

The paper shows motor-evoked responses in auditory cortex during self-generated sounds correlate with improved sound detection.

Using experimental data as a voucher for study pre-registration

The paper introduces a cryptographic method to time-lock study pre-registration with data acquisition, ensuring scientific autonomy and replicability without third-party involvement.

Predicted sensory consequences of voluntary actions modulate amplitude and temporal dynamics of preceding readiness potentials

The paper shows that expected sensory consequences of voluntary actions modulate readiness potentials, with no effect on lateralized readiness potentials.
