Common attentional mechanisms, but distinct computational dynamics, across Statistical and Reward Learning

This study compares statistical and reward learning, finding shared attentional mechanisms but distinct computational dynamics in neural representations and learning rates.

Separate and overlapping mechanisms of statistical regularities and salience processing in the occipital cortex and dorsal attention network

The paper investigates how statistical regularities and salience signals influence attentional processing in the occipital cortex and dorsal attention network using fMRI.

Laws of concatenated perception: Vision goes for novelty, Decisions for perseverance

The paper shows that human visual perception is shaped by two opposing forces: sensory adaptation repelling from previous stimuli and decisional traces attracting toward previous responses, challenging claims about continuity fields.
