Awake suppression after brief exposure to a familiar stimulus
Bang & Rahnev tested whether awake reactivation occurs differentially for new and familiar stimuli, given that reactivating all experiences can be wasteful. They expose participants to brief visual tasks in which the stimulus was either novel or familiar. They observed that whilst novel stimuli...

| Sumario: | Bang & Rahnev tested whether awake reactivation occurs differentially for new and familiar stimuli, given that reactivating all experiences can be wasteful. They expose participants to brief visual tasks in which the stimulus was either novel or familiar. They observed that whilst novel stimuli were associated with reactivation of cortical area V1, familiar stimuli led to ‘awake suppression’ in which neural activity diverged from patterns previously associated with that stimulus. The results support the existence of competition between local awake reactivation and top-down awake suppression, with suppression being dominant for familiar stimuli. |
