🧠 New preprint! How does the brain predict complex patterns in sound vs. vision? Using MEG & matched auditory/visual sequences, we reveal distinct and shared brain networks for recognising temporally structured stimuli.
Shared and modality-specific brain networks underlying predictive coding of temporal sequences
Predictive coding posits that the brain continuously generates and updates internal models to anticipate incoming sensory input. While auditory and visual modalities have been studied independently in...

1/n 🔍 At the core of FREQ-NESS is Generalized Eigendecomposition (GED) - a powerful linear decomposition technique that allows us to separate overlapping neural processes based on their dominant frequency, by contrasting narrowband vs broadband activity. #Neuroscience #FREQNESS
2/n 🧘♂️ During rest, FREQ-NESS reliably separates well-known resting state brain networks — the Default Mode Network, alpha-band parieto-occipital, and motor-beta sensorimotor topographies. Textbook configurations emerge directly from the data and based on frequency, without predefining regions.
3/n 🎧 Auditory stimulation reshapes the entire frequency-resolved network landscape: • EMERGENCE: Attunement to the 2.4 Hz stimulation • RE-ARRANGEMENT: Spatial shift of alpha from occipital to sensorimotor, spectral shift to high alpha activity • INVARIANCE: Beta networks remain unchanged
4/ Provided the network separation, we also tracked cross-frequency coupling (CFC) between networks. During passive listening to the metronome, the phase of low-freq (2.4 Hz) auditory networks selectively modulates the gamma band amplitude in more distributed medial temporal networks.
