Hierarchies of spatiotemporal anticipation in the human brain
PROJECT SUMMARY Everyday experience requires humans to make plans in a hierarchical fashion, so they can anticipate visual events that might occur seconds, minutes, hours, or longer in the future. For example, when walking through a city, individuals must track their immediate surroundings (e.g., the movement of pedestrians around them), intermediate sub-goals (e.g., landmarks along their route), and long-timescale goals (e.g., their final destination). Despite the ubiquity of such hierarchical anticipation in behavior, it is unclear how the brain can simultaneously anticipate events at multiple timescales. Our aim is to uncover the mechanisms underlying hierarchical anticipatory signals in…
