TL;DR: It is concluded that flexible top-down mechanisms of cognitive control are specialized for target-related attention, whereas distractor suppression only emerges when the predictive information can be derived directly from experience, consistent with a predictive coding model of expectation suppression.

TL;DR: The #EEGManyLabs project as discussed by the authors is a large-scale international collaborative replication effort that aims to evaluate the replicability of EEG findings about the relationship between brain activity and cognitive phenomena.

TL;DR: It was found that spatial and color-based attention independently modulated the amplitude of steady-state visual evoked potentials, confirming independent top–down influences on early visual areas and suggesting increasing integration of spatial and feature-based selection over the course of perceptual processing.

TL;DR: The view that feature‐based attention spreads across object boundaries, at least at an early stage of processing is supported, as SSVEPs elicited at more lateral electrode sites showed a hierarchical pattern of selection, potentially reflecting the binding of surface‐defining features with luminance features to enable surface-based attention.

TL;DR: It is concluded that temporal expectation causes a transient increase in temporal attention, boosting the strength of the motion signal and thereby increasing thestrength of the illusion.
