🏰 New preprint! 🏰 (w/ the excellent @neuronomist.bsky.social & Prof. Jason Mattingley) For my PhD I've been using EEG, psychophysics and modelling to explore how the brain uses uncertainty to balance sensory information against expectations about what's out there. 🧵1/n

🖨️ Fresh off the press! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... We have shown that the brain processes visual input differently as a function of display density, violating predictions of dominant cognitive control theories.

Prefrontal dimension change-related activation differs for visual search in sparse and dense displays

Changes of the target-defining feature dimension have previously been shown to elicit anterior prefrontal activation increases. In the majority of stu…
