Decision making
Do priors reshape motor preparation before you act?
Open access · cc by · source: Europe PMC
In 62 adults, probabilistic cues biased decisions and inhibited prior-incongruent motor cortex excitability; MEP modulators vs non-modulators tracked believer vs empiricist styles.
Key findings
Cues shifted decision criterion; prior expectations inhibited motor regions coding incongruent responses; trial-by-trial MEPs related to bias; schizotypal/autistic traits linked to believer/empiricist styles.
Methodology
Participants did an RDM discrimination task with informative/uninformative cues while bilateral M1 TMS elicited MEPs at multiple peri-stimulus times.
Limitations
Not a clinical treatment study; styles are correlational with traits, not diagnostic categories.
