abstract = {Valid expectations are known to improve target detection,
but the preparatory attentional mechanisms underlying this
perceptual facilitation remain an open issue. Using
functional magnetic resonance imaging, we show here that
expecting auditory, tactile, or visual targets, in the
absence of stimulation, selectively increased baseline
activity in corresponding sensory cortices and decreased
activity in irrelevant ones. Regardless of sensory modality,
expectancy activated bilateral premotor and posterior
parietal areas, supplementary motor area as well as right
anterior insula and right middle frontal gyrus. The
bilateral putamen was sensitive to the modality specificity
of expectations during the unexpected omission of targets.
Thus, across modalities, detection improvement arising from
selectively directing attention to a sensory modality
appears mediated through transient changes in pretarget
activity. This flexible advance modulation of baseline
activity in sensory cortices resolves ambiguities among
previous studies unable to discriminate modality-specific
preparatory activity from attentional modulation of stimulus
processing. Our results agree with predictive-coding models,
which suggest that these expectancy-related changes reflect
top-down biases--presumably originating from the observed
supramodal frontoparietal network--that modulate
signal-detection sensitivity by differentially modifying
background activity (i.e., noise level) in different input
channels. The putamen appears to code omission-related
Bayesian "surprise" that depends on the specificity of
predictions.},
