Neural Correlates of Temporal Anticipation

Show abstract
Temporal anticipation is a fundamental process underlying complex neural functions such as associative learning, decision-making, and motor-preparation. Here we study event anticipation in its simplest form in human participants using magnetoencephalography. We distributed events in time according to different probability density functions and presented the stimuli separately in two different sensory modalities. We found that the temporal dynamics in right parietal cortex correlate with reaction times to anticipated events. Specifically, after an event occurred, event probability was represented in right parietal activity, hinting at a functional role of event-related potential component P300 in temporal expectancy. The results are consistent across both visual and auditory modalities. The right parietal cortex seems to play a central role in the processing of event probability density. Overall, this work contributes to the understanding of the neural processes involved in the anticipation of events in time.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
