“…Let me first provide briefly the published research background for the problem. Prior information processed before an actual stimulus-event has been shown to influence whether and how this stimulus event will be explicitly perceived (Friston, 2005;Hohwy, 2013;Auksztulewicz et al, 2018;Chao et al, 2018;de Lange et al, 2018;Keller and Mrsic-Flogel, 2018;Andersen et al, 2019;Berggren and Eimer, 2019;Crawford et al, 2019;Gandolfo and Downing, 2019;Hutchinson and Barrett, 2019;Lumaca et al, 2019;Meijs et al, 2019;Pennartz et al, 2019;Stefanics et al, 2019;Whyte, 2019;Wokke and Ro, 2019;Wolfe, 2019). The effects span across facilitation, inhibition, illusory distortion, and hallucination (Buschman and Miller, 2007;Aru and Bachmann, 2017a;Powers et al, 2017;Aru et al, 2018;Brascamp et al, 2018;Corlett et al, 2018;Flounders et al, 2019;Harrison and Rideaux, 2019;Hullfish et al, 2019;Tappin and Gadsby, 2019;Tulver et al, 2019;Valton et al, 2019;Varrier et al, 2019).…”
