Probabilistic processing: Possible, probable, or preposterous?
In a new dialectical essay written with Leyla Loued-Khenissi, we take opposite sides of the debate, aiming to clarify what’s really at stake

Probabilistic processing: Possible, probable, or preposterous? A dialectical essay

Does the brain operate probabilistically, or are probabilistic models merely useful tools for approximating brain function? This dialectical essay add…

My Research Highlight on an important study assessing large-scale evidence for perceptual entrainment to auditory rhythms is now out,
emphasizing the importance of replications, sample sizes and variability across individuals and labs @natureportfolio.nature.com

Neuroscience: large-scale evidence for perceptual entrainment to auditory rhythms

Communications Psychology - A large multi-lab replication study confirms that rhythmic sounds can entrain perceptual performance, while revealing substantial inter-individual variability.

Ever notice how a ticking clock or flashing banner stops bothering you?
In our new @nature.com Scientific Reports paper, we focus on the stages involved in habituation to visual distractors, using #EEG ERP and oscillations.
