Autistic and non-autistic adults similarly experience statistical regularities

The paper examines how autistic and non-autistic adults experience statistical regularities and finds similar subjective probability and surprise ratings, with comparable effects on perceptual decisions.

Recent history attracts and repels perceptual decisions depending on surprise

The paper shows that perceptual decisions are attracted or repelled by recent sensory experience based on the level of surprise from discrepancies between past and present sensory states.

Gravitational expectations simultaneously attract and repel perception

The paper investigates how gravitational expectations influence perception, showing that they both attract and repel perceptual judgments in different contexts.

The dynamic relationship between pupil dilation and neural surprise in natural language comprehension

The paper investigates how pupil dilation and neural activity reflect different aspects of predictive processing during language comprehension, finding dissociable responses to lexical surprise and semantic error.

Paradoxical influences of prediction are resolved across time

The paper tests an opposing process theory of perception using EEG data, showing expectation influences change over time to support both accurate perception and learning from unexpected events.

Temporal predictions as motor readouts of sensory predictions

The paper shows that temporal predictions in vision are linked to motor readouts and content-specific encoding in early visual areas during timing judgments.

Perceptual predictions track subjective, over objective, statistical structure

This study investigates how subjective and objective statistical structures influence perceptual predictions, finding that subjective experience primarily drives decision speed, while objective structure explains less variance.

Ocular Response Functions reveal how ocular processes relate to neural activity

The paper models Ocular Response Functions (ORFs) using MEG and eye tracking to reveal neural signatures of oculomotor events and their relationship with neural activity.

Predictions and errors are distinctly represented across V1 layers

The paper uses fMRI to show that V1 layers differently represent expected and unexpected visual stimuli, supporting predictive processing theories.

Dopamine challenge reduces mental state attribution accuracy

This study shows that dopamine antagonists reduce accuracy in mental state attribution tasks in healthy volunteers, suggesting dopamine's causal role in Theory of Mind.

Dopaminergic modulation of dynamic emotion perception

This study investigates how dopamine affects emotion recognition by testing haloperidol's effects on dynamic emotion perception, finding that outcomes depend on baseline dopamine levels.

Action enhances predicted touch

The paper investigates whether predictive mechanisms in action reduce or enhance tactile perception, finding that expected touch during action is perceived more intensely than unexpected touch.
