Purpose-Dependent Consequences of Temporal Expectations Serving Perception and Action.

摘要: Temporal expectations enable anticipatory brain states that prepare us for upcoming perception and action. We investigated the purpose-dependent nature consequences of cued temporal on behaviour in male female human volunteers, using two matched visual-motor tasks stressed either response speed or visual accuracy. show are fundamentally purpose dependent. predominantly affected times when demands were low was more important, but perceptual accuracy challenging. Using Magnetoencephalography, we further how latch onto neural associated with concurrent spatial – modulating task-specific lateralisation oscillatory activity a modality- frequency-specific manner. By relating these to behaviour, finally reveal behavioural relevance such is similarly SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Knowing events may occur helps It becoming increasingly clear distinct sources facilitate performance via mechanisms. Another relevant dimension consider regards purposes serve. Here, demonstrate neurophysiological dependent, interact task-relevant This brings important insight ways which influence related not fixed properties rather depend task at hand.
