Expectation effects based on newly learnt object-scene associations are modulated by spatial frequency Objects typically appear within rich visual scenes. Some models of visual system function propose that scene information is extracted from low-spatial frequency components and rapidly propagates throu...

New preprint from the lab!

We tested for effects of learning scene-object pairings on distributed patterns of EEG signals. We report clear effects on ERPs but not object decoding performance.
