Learned associations constrain anticipatory visual dynamics and enhance sensory and motor readiness to facilitate perceptual decisions

Learned cue target associations can guide attention to facilitate perceptual decision making, yet how they shape the content and dynamics of neural activity, and whether this facilitation reflects anticipatory preparation, post-target sensory enhancement, or both, remains unclear. Here, we used magnetoencephalography while participants made living/nonliving judgments about visual objects (e.g.,…
