Worth checking out this paper showing how we can use temporal expectations to shift between different search templates 🔎
Our latest publication is now available in early access!
Utilising our RSPP procedure and the N2pc, we trace covert switches between separate attentional templates in real time, revealing exactly when observers swap from one template to another.

Now out in #ScienceAdvances: @baiweiliu.bsky.social and I ask how internal (goal) and external (sensory) selection are coordinated during visual search. The key insight: internal and external selection are not inherently serial, but may develop in parallel in the human brain: doi.org/10.1126/scia...
