This study uses targeted neuromodulation to show that sensory and metacognitive performance in motion perception are dissociable, with V5/MT+ affecting discrimination and IPS/LIP affecting confidence.

This study shows aging changes how the brain uses prior expectations in decision-making, leading to stronger bias and reduced sensory precision, with neural changes in alpha and beta rhythms.

This study shows that prior expectations shape motor excitability before action execution, with individual differences linked to autistic and schizotypal traits.

This study shows that disrupting the left inferior parietal lobule impairs the ability to infer intentions from movement kinematics, while leaving kinematic discrimination unaffected.
