Really nice experience being interviewed on hyperscanning together with Anne-Kristin Solbakk and Sigurd Alnes by Elise Kjørstad.
When we measure brain activity from multiple people at once, the brains synchronize.

👏 Huge congratulations to Olgerta Asko, who led this work, and to our fantastic collaborators at @unioslo-ritmo.bsky.social, @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social cial.bsky.social, and @oushf.bsky.social sky.social.
🙏 Special thanks to the patients who made this research possible.
👩🔬👨🔬 Together, these results provide electrophysiological and causal evidence that the human prefrontal cortex predicts future sounds through distinct, time-ordered roles of OFC and LPFC.
Read the full preprint here 👉 doi.org/10.1101/2025...
Intracranial EEG shows expectancy modulations in the prefrontal cortex:
🧠 OFC earlier
🧠 LPFC later
(This was measured via high-frequency activity, a marker of local brain activity)
Connectivity analyses reveal bidirectional exchange, with the first lead by OFC.
#iEEG #PredictiveProcessing #HFA
Lesion evidence indicates distinct roles:
🧠 Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) damage abolishes sensitivity to expectancy.
🧠 Lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) damage shows only modest, non-significant effects compared to controls.
(Shown using #CNV #ERP that tracks anticipation)
#BrainLesion #Prediction
In an auditory local–global deviance detection task, we found that the brain tracks sound regularities to anticipate when a rare deviant sequence will occur.
⚡ Participants detected deviants faster when they were expected.
#PredictiveProcessing
🤔How does the human brain predict unexpected sounds?
Our new study shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t work as a single unit. Instead, the orbitofrontal and lateral prefrontal cortex make distinct, time-sensitive contributions. #iEEG #BrainLesion #OFC #LPFC

Great perspective about elife publishing model and who controls the scientific publishing system

This study establishes how aperiodic activity, a ubiquitous signal linked to neural noise, develops in localized brain regions and illuminates the development of prefrontal control during adolescence in the development of attention and memory.
Evidence in support of the "Brain from the inside out":
Response to movies is dominated by intrinsic brain dynamics. The dynamic itself is barely alternatered by the task of watching movies.

Don't miss the chance to apply to work with Andres.
He is a great researcher in the field of predictive processing, working with #iEEG across humans and non-human primates
Nice work Antonino and colleagues!
We have a recent paper addressing a similar issue that you might find interesting
doi.org/10.1038/s415...
🚨 New preprint! 🚨
Can humans learn sensory regularities that are irrelevant to ongoing behavior? Yes, and we reveal the predictive coding mechanisms behind their acquisition
Our results support uncertainty minimization over environmental state transitions as a core objective of brain function
