This chapter examines how temporal expectation can bias action and perception. It explains that the brain continuously generates predictions about expected relevant events to guide perception and action. The chapter describes how these predictions incorporate the temporal dimension to anticipate the timing of events. It also describes studies concerning the neural systems and mechanisms by temporal expectations bias perception and action and discusses the notion that temporal expectations are mediated via networks closely associated with spatial and motor control.Less

This chapter examines the neuronal bases of temporal attentional orienting. It discusses endogenous temporal orienting with predictive pre-cues and the neurophysiological mechanisms and the neuroanatomical substrates of endogenous temporal orienting. It also analyses exogenous temporal orienting by predictable stimulus motion and the behavioural indices and the neurophysiological mechanisms of exogenous temporal expectation. It concludes that temporal orienting of attention depends upon temporal expectancies that have been established either with endogenous pre-cues or exogenous patterns of rhythmic stimulus presentation.Less
