Figure 1
Task design of Experiments 1 and 2.
Across conditions (colored boxes on the right), in each trial, participants had to indicate the orientation tilt (left or right) of a target gabor. In all conditions, a distractor (a gabor that was …
Figure 2
Behavioral findings of Experiments 1 (A) and 2 (B) visualized by notched boxplots with solid horizontal lines corresponding to the mean.
(A) Reaction times as a function of distractor location (left) and target location (right) in Experiment 1. (B) Reaction times as a function of distractor location (left) and target location (right) …
Figure 3
Anticipatory alpha-activity.
(A) These panels show the lateralization index relative to the high-probability distractor location averaged over PO7/8 and O1/2 separately per condition. (B) Time-series of lateralization index …

Multivariate decoding of the target and distractor spatial frequency across conditions using broad-band EEG of all 64 electrodes.
(A) AUC scores of target (left) and distractor (right) decoding across time. Colored bars on the x-axis (blue; red; green) indicate clusters where conditions differ significantly from chance after …
Figure 5
Multivariate decoding of the target using either weights from a model trained on targets spatial frequencies and distractor spatial frequencies.
(A) AUC scores of DpTv unique (left) and DpTp unique (right) decoding across time. Colored bars on the x-axis indicate clusters where conditions differ significantly from chance after cluster …

Distractor Pd reduces as a function of distractor location expectations.
ERP results from search trials with lateral distractors collapsed across all conditions (column 1) and separately for each condition (columns 2–4). Row one shows the difference between contra- and …
Figure 7
No effect of distractor or target expectations on the target-evoked N2pc.
This figure displays ERP results from search trials with lateral targets collapsed across all conditions (column 1) and separately for each condition (columns 2–4) and the low- and high-probability …

Multivariate decoding of the target and distractor spatial frequency across conditions using broad-band EEG of all 64 electrodes.
(A) AUC scores of target (left) and distractor (right) decoding across time without a pre-stimulus baseline. (B) AUC scores of target (left) and distractor (right) decoding across time with a …
