This study shows that horizontal vertical anisotropy (HVA) and vertical meridian asymmetry (VMA) develop gradually during adolescence, reaching adult levels in late adolescence.

What is next? Predictable visual sequences are encoded with anticipatory biases and reduced neural responses

The paper shows that predictable visual sequences lead to reduced neural responses and anticipatory biases in orientation representation, mirroring behavioral representational momentum.

Representational Competition of Spatially and Temporally Overlapped Target and Distractor

The paper tests how distractor stimuli affect target stimulus processing by measuring decoding accuracy and behavioral performance in different brain regions.
