Do actions structure auditory memory? Action-based event segmentation effects on sensory responses, pupil dilation and sequential memory

Our actions shape our everyday experience: what we experience, how we perceive, and remember it are deeply affected by how we interact with the world. Performing an action to deliver a stimulus engages neurophysiological processes which are reflected in the modulation of sensory and pupil responses....
