Between Pain and Math : How Expectations Shape Cognitive Processes from Neural Activity to Behaviour.

Between Pain and Math : How Expectations Shape Cognitive Processes from Neural Activity to Behaviour.

Long description: Expectancy effects are a wide-spread phenomenon, influencing cognitive operations from basic stimulus processing to higher cognitive functions. Their influence often goes unnoticed, even though it leaves a lasting fingerprint on perception and behaviour. The present work aims at pr...
