Predictability engenders more efficient neural responses
The neural response to a stimulus diminishes with repeated presentations, a phenomenon known as repetition suppression. We here use neuroimaging to demonstrate that repetition suppression appears t…

Why overlearned sequences are special: distinct neural networks in the right hemisphere for ordinal sequences
Written and spoken words activate left hemisphere areas involved in language processing. However, we here show that overlearned sequences (e.g. letters, numbers, weekdays, months) involve an unexpe…
