I'm super grateful to the conference and symposium organisers for inviting me to give a talk. It was an exciting opportunity, and I truly enjoyed sharing our work on predictions being represented in pre-stimulus alpha oscillations with such an engaged audience at MMN 2024. Yaaay!

We also found that this shape-specific alpha power modulated task performance, such that higher alpha power resulted in stronger expectation effects on shape discrimination. [6/8]

Predicted shape representations in the pre-stimulus window fluctuated in the alpha band (10–11Hz) and significantly deviated from a power spectrum of an empirical null distribution also from a power spectrum obtained via training a decoder on shapes that weren’t presented in the main task.[5/8]

Participants performed a shape discrimination task, while auditory cues predicted the most likely upcoming shape (shape A and D) on 75% of the trials. [4/8]

There is a lot of evidence that the brain deploys predictions to guide perception, and neural oscillations seem to be an ideal candidate to convey these prediction signals. Therefore, we thought it would be very cool to test whether sensory predictions have an oscillatory nature. 〰 [3/8]

Hello bluesky! Lucky to be included among incredible women at the FIL to mark #InternationalWomensDay! Here's a glimpse into who I am!
