This interpretation converges with a recent study looking at the effect of stimulus predictability on duration judgments [18].
We used prospective duration judgments within and across sensory modalities to examine the effect of stimulus predictability and feature change on the perception of duration.
In addition, we found that the subcortical pathway plays a fundamental role in conveying information to the amygdala, regardless of stimulus predictability and irrespective of the emotional context in which they appear.
In the HO there was again a main effect of stimulus condition (F(1.4,46.5) = 71.7; p < 0.001; ηp2 = 0.68) that was due to faster RTs to AV stimuli than to either A or V stimuli (p's < 0.001).

MEG constitutes a promising approach to profiling patterns of neural activity during the processing of sensory input (e.g., detection of a tactile stimulus, stimulus predictability) and facilitating our understanding of how basic sensory processing may underlie and/or be influenced by more complex neural networks involved in higher order processing.
The three-way interaction between these experimental variables is the effect of primary interest as it represents the interaction between the classical confusion effect (an effect of number of objects, or density, on capture success) and predictability of target motion.
In contrast, in the case of low stimulus predictability, participants reduced the involvement of WM and maximized the amount of gaze shifts, achieving 'just-in-time' processing.
Whereas the N100 showed a main effect of temporal predictability (predictable
In addition, we asked whether the functional role of the subcortical pathway depends on stimulus predictability and emotional context.
