"Nothing" Really Matters: What Omission Responses Reveal About the Predictive Brain

2026-01-30

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the brain’s predictive machinery requires isolating endogenous activity from responses to external stimulation. Omission paradigms, which study neural responses when expected stimuli are absent, provide this unique window into internal computations. This review synthesizes omission research across species, modalities, and paradigms to reveal how the brain anticipates the world. Across diverse finding...
