eLife Assessment: Dissociable dynamic effects of expectation during statistical learning

This important study is of relevance to the fields of predictive processing, perception, and learning, with a well-designed paradigm allowing the authors to avoid several common confounds in investigating predictions, such as adaptation.Using a state-of-the-art multivariate EEG approach, the authors test the opposing process theory and find evidence in support of it.Overall, the empirical evidence is solid; however, some conclusions rest on limited evidence and need further work to reconcile the present results with previous studies.
