Generative and discriminative recurrence employ opposing strategies for robust vision

This study compares generative and discriminative recurrence in neural networks, finding they use opposing strategies for achieving robustness in vision.

Narrative Context Shifts Gaze from Visual to Semantic Salience

The paper tests how semantic context influences eye movements compared to visual salience in narrative viewing.

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.

Executive Resources Shape the Impact of Language Predictability Across the Adult Lifespan

This study shows that language predictability affects reading time more when executive resources are limited, and this effect increases with age.

Age-related differences in the neural network interactions underlying the predictability gain

The paper investigates age-related differences in neural network interactions during speech comprehension under degraded conditions and finds preserved predictability gain in older adults with adjusted stimulus intelligibility.

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.

Neural modelling of the semantic predictability gain under challenging listening conditions

The paper investigates how neural networks adapt to speech predictability and intelligibility, showing increased activation in semantic regions and changes in effective connectivity during challenging listening conditions.

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.

Does closing the eyes enhance auditory attention? Eye closure increases attentional alpha-power modulation but not listening performance

This study investigates whether closing the eyes enhances auditory attention and perception, finding increased alpha-power modulation but no improvement in listening performance.
