A recent study from the University of Granada in the Human Neuroscience Lab of the CIMCYC investigated how our brain anticipates different levels of competition between stimuli. In other words, they analyzed what happens when we expect several stimuli that simultaneously compete for our attention (high competition) or when we expect a sequential presentation (low competition). Using electroencephalography (EEG), the researchers examined brain activity in both scenarios, exploring how we prepare for different attentional demands.

Researchers from CIMCYC have explored if this anticipation entails “internally simulating” the tasks before executing them, preparing the perceptual and motor brain systems. To do so, they addressed whether the neural codes specific to the instructions’ action plans and stimuli were pre-activated.
