The effect of prior knowledge of color on reaction time depends on visual modality
Heliyon, 2022 Prior knowledge of color, such as traffic rules (blue/green and red mean “go” and “stop” respectively), can influence reaction times (RTs). Specifically, in a Go/No-go task, where signals were presented by a light-emitting diode (LED) lighting device, RT

Microsaccades as a marker not a cause for attention-related modulation
eLife, 2022 Recent evidence suggests that microsaccades are causally linked to the attention-related modulation of neurons—specifically, that microsaccades toward the attended location are required for the subsequent changes in firing rate.

Neuronal modulation in the mouse superior colliculus during covert visual selective attention
Scientific Reports, 2022 Covert visual attention is accomplished by a cascade of mechanisms distributed across multiple brain regions. Visual cortex is associated with enhanced representations of relevant stimulus features, whereas the contributions of subcortical circuits are ...

Excitability of the Ipsilateral Primary Motor Cortex During Unilateral Goal-Directed Movement
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 IntroductionPrevious transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies have revealed that the activity of the primary motor cortex ipsilateral to an active hand (ipsi-M1) plays an important role in motor control.

Tapping the sensorimotor trajectory [PDF]
2017 Joint IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning and Epigenetic Robotics (ICDL-EpiRob), 2017 In this paper, we propose the concept of sensorimotor tappings, a new graphical technique that explicitly represents relations between the time steps of an agent's sensorimotor loop and a single training step of an adaptive internal model. In the simplest case this is a relation linking two time steps. In realistic cases these relations can extend over

A predictive processing theory of sensorimotor contingencies: explaining the puzzle of perceptual presence and its absence in synesthesia [PDF]
, 2014 Normal perception involves experiencing objects within perceptual scenes as real, as existing in the world. This property of “perceptual presence” has motivated “sensorimotor theories” which understand perception to involve the mastery of sensorimotor ...

High frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex modulates sensorimotor cortex function in the transition to sustained muscle pain [PDF]
, 2019 Based on reciprocal connections between the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and basal-ganglia regions associated with sensorimotor cortical excitability, it was hypothesized that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the left ...

The cybernetic Bayesian brain: from interoceptive inference to sensorimotor contingencies [PDF]
, 2015 Is there a single principle by which neural operations can account for perception, cognition, action, and even consciousness? A strong candidate is now taking shape in the form of “predictive processing”.
