Inferring how objects continue to move during occlusion requires contextual cues from the surrounding environment. Such contextual information is incorporated via neural feedback linked to cortical alpha oscillations. Here, we demonstrate that alpha dynamics track the predicted movement of a person during occlusion, depending on scene context: Alpha oscillations not only track how the person moves when their path is unobstructed but also when they need to stop because of obstacles blocking their way.
