Prior Information Shapes Perceptual Evidence Accumulation Dynamics Differentially in Psychosis

This study examines how prior information affects perceptual decision-making in psychosis, finding that individuals with psychosis show reduced sensory gain and increased pre-evidence biases compared to healthy controls.

Predicting speech from a cortical hierarchy of event-based timescales

The paper shows that a hierarchical neural coding scheme based on event-based timescales predicts speech and is reflected in temporo-parietal brain activity.

Temporal selectivity declines in the aging human auditory cortex

This study shows that aging in the human auditory cortex leads to broader tuning to temporal modulation rates, particularly in primary auditory cortex and planum temporale.

Aberrant perceptual judgements on speech-relevant acoustic features in hallucination-prone individuals

The paper investigates how hallucination-prone individuals perceive speech-like acoustic features, finding they down-weight speech-typical low frequencies and prioritize high frequencies, with confidence influenced by hallucination proneness and schizotypy.
