summarySelective attention optimises perception by enhancing target processing and suppressing task irrelevant sensory input. Target enhancement and distractor inhibition are often considered two sides of the same process, however we argue that each depend on fundamentally distinct control systems. Behavioural studies show that participants are unable to selectively inhibit distracting input via top-down attention cues, whereas predictions derived from experience can be used effectively to inhibit expected task-irrelevant input. Moreover, EEG and MEG suggest that predictive coding could provide an important mechanisms for preparatory distractor suppression.
