No evidence of neural feature-specific pre-activation during the prediction of an upcoming stimulus

2025-09-19

Abstract excerpt

Our brains constantly make predictions about upcoming events based on prior knowledge of the environment. Although several neural mechanisms have been proposed to support this capacity, it is not yet clear how the brain makes such predictions. A compelling hypothesis is that the brain preactivates a sensory template of a predictable stimulus before it appears. In a recent study, Demarchi et al. had participants li...
