Stochastic resonance enhances the rate of evidence accumulation during combined brain stimulation and perceptual decision-making by van der Groen, Onno, Tang, Matthew F, Wenderoth, Nicole, Mattingley, Jason B

“…Perceptual decision-making relies on the gradual accumulation of noisy sensory evidence. It is often assumed that such decisions are degraded by adding noise…”

Attention promotes the neural encoding of prediction errors by Smout, Cooper A, Tang, Matthew F, Garrido, Marta I, Mattingley, Jason B

“…The encoding of sensory information in the human brain is thought to be optimised by two principal processes: 'prediction' uses stored information to guide the…”

Prediction error and repetition suppression have distinct effects on neural representations of visual information by Tang, Matthew F, Smout, Cooper A, Arabzadeh, Ehsan, Mattingley, Jason B

“…Predictive coding theories argue that recent experience establishes expectations in the brain that generate when violated. Prediction errors provide a possible…”

Expectation violations enhance neuronal encoding of sensory information in mouse primary visual cortex by Tang, Matthew F., Kheradpezhouh, Ehsan, Lee, Conrad C. Y., Dickinson, J. Edwin, Mattingley, Jason B., Arabzadeh, Ehsan

“…The response of cortical neurons to sensory stimuli is shaped both by past events (adaptation) and the expectation of future events (prediction). Here we…”

Separate banks of information channels encode size and aspect ratio by Dickinson, J Edwin, Morgan, Sarah K, Tang, Matthew F, Badcock, David R

“…Size and aspect ratio are ecologically important visual attributes. Relative size confers depth, and aspect ratio is a size-invariant cue to object identity…”

Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation over auditory cortex degrades frequency discrimination by affecting temporal, but not place, coding by Tang, Matthew F., Hammond, Geoffrey R.

“…We report three studies of the effects of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over auditory cortex on audition in humans. Experiment 1…”
