abstract = {Generating and updating probabilistic models of the
environment is a fundamental modus operandi of the human
brain. Although crucial for various cognitive functions, the
neural mechanisms of these inference processes remain to be
elucidated. Here, we show the causal involvement of the
right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ) in updating
probabilistic beliefs and we provide new insights into the
chronometry of the process by combining online transcranial
magnetic stimulation (TMS) with computational modeling of
behavioral responses. Female and male participants performed
a modified location-cueing paradigm, where false information
about the percentage of cue validity $(\%CV)$ was provided
in half of the experimental blocks to prompt updating of
prior expectations. Online double-pulse TMS over rTPJ 300 ms
(but not 50 ms) after target appearance selectively
decreased participants' updating of false prior beliefs
concerning $\%CV,$ reflected in a decreased learning rate of
a Rescorla–Wagner model. Online TMS over rTPJ also
impacted on participants' explicit beliefs, causing them to
overestimate $\%CV.$ These results confirm the involvement
of rTPJ in updating of probabilistic beliefs, thereby
advancing our understanding of this area's function during
cognitive processing.},
