This study shows that stimulus familiarity and expectation independently suppress neural activity in the visual ventral stream, with familiarity also sharpening response dynamics in early visual cortex.

The paper investigates how outcome uncertainty and expected reward influence curiosity, finding that uncertainty drives curiosity and is linked to parietal and insular cortex activity.

This study investigates how top-down expectations influence conscious awareness through three experiments using attentional blink paradigms and electrophysiological recordings.

The paper shows that expectations create pre-stimulus neural representations of expected stimuli using MEG and decoding techniques.

The paper shows that expectation violations at one visual location cause increased neural activity across the entire visual field.
