Attention deficits does not affect visual expectations

What is it about?

As a marvellous by-product of evolution, our brains can predict the occurrence of futur events in the environment. The encoding of expectations allows us to be more efficient, for example by responding faster to imperative events (e.g., a predator) with a reduced computational cost for the brain. One key question in Neuroscience and Psychology is whether our abilitiy to predict upcoming events actually depends on the abilitiy to focus attention or not. In the present study, we show that it doesn't.
