Hearing silences: human auditory processing relies on preactivation of sound-specific brain activity patterns by SanMiguel, Iria, Widmann, Andreas, Bendixen, Alexandra, Trujillo-Barreto, Nelson, Schröger, Erich

“…The remarkable capabilities displayed by humans in making sense of an overwhelming amount of sensory information cannot be explained easily if perception is…”

Omission related brain responses reflect specific and unspecific action-effect couplings by Dercksen, Tjerk T., Widmann, Andreas, Schröger, Erich, Wetzel, Nicole

“…When an auditory stimulus is predicted but unexpectedly omitted, an omission response can be observed in the EEG. This endogenous response to the absence of a…”

The encoding of stochastic regularities is facilitated by action-effect predictions by Korka, Betina, Schröger, Erich, Widmann, Andreas

“…Our brains continuously build and update predictive models of the world, sources of prediction being drawn for example from sensory regularities and/or our own…”

Interpretation bias and contamination-based obsessive-compulsive symptoms influence emotional intensity related to disgust and fear by Fink-Lamotte, Jakob, Widmann, Andreas, Fader, Judith, Exner, Cornelia

“…Biased processing of disgust-related stimuli is increasingly discussed in addition to fear-related processing as a maintenance factor for contamination-based…”
