Topic: auditory spatial localization

Predicting the location of expected upcoming stimuli is a key function in sensory processing. Noise in the environment reduces the reliability of sensory input and increases the importance of prior information. Yet, sudden changes in the environment can render this prior information irrelevant. In such cases, observers should reset their beliefs and establish new priors using current sensory evidence. To study these dynamics of perceptual belief updating, we conducted a human EEG experiment (N = 29) investigating auditory spatial localization in noisy volatile environments and analyzed the ass
