Strategic allocation of attention reduces temporally predictable stimulus conflict.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2012-09)
Humans are able to continuously monitor environmental situations and adjust their
behavioral strategies to optimize performance. Here we investigate the behavioral
and brain adjustments that occur when conflicting stimulus ...
The dynamics of proactive and reactive cognitive control processes in the human brain.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2014-05)
In this study, we leveraged the high temporal resolution of EEG to examine the neural
mechanisms underlying the flexible regulation of cognitive control that unfolds over
different timescales. We measured behavioral and ...
Pinning down response inhibition in the brain--conjunction analyses of the Stop-signal task.
(Neuroimage, 2010-10-01)
Successful behavior requires a finely-tuned interplay of initiating and inhibiting
motor programs to react effectively to constantly changing environmental demands.
One particularly useful paradigm for investigating inhibitory ...
Action video game playing is associated with improved visual sensitivity, but not alterations in visual sensory memory.
(Atten Percept Psychophys, 2013-08)
Action video game playing has been experimentally linked to a number of perceptual
and cognitive improvements. These benefits are captured through a wide range of psychometric
tasks and have led to the proposition that action ...
Multifactorial determinants of the neurocognitive effects of electroconvulsive therapy.
(J ECT, 2014-06)
For many patients with neuropsychiatric illnesses, standard psychiatric treatments
with mono or combination pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and transcranial magnetic
stimulation are ineffective. For these patients ...
Rapid modulation of sensory processing induced by stimulus conflict.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2011-09)
Humans are constantly confronted with environmental stimuli that conflict with task
goals and can interfere with successful behavior. Prevailing theories propose the
existence of cognitive control mechanisms that can suppress ...
The role of stimulus salience and attentional capture across the neural hierarchy in a stop-signal task.
(PLoS One, 2011)
Inhibitory motor control is a core function of cognitive control. Evidence from diverse
experimental approaches has linked this function to a mostly right-lateralized network
of cortical and subcortical areas, wherein a ...
Improvement in visual search with practice: mapping learning-related changes in neurocognitive stages of processing.
(J Neurosci, 2015-04-01)
Practice can improve performance on visual search tasks; the neural mechanisms underlying
such improvements, however, are not clear. Response time typically shortens with practice,
but which components of the stimulus-response ...
Cortical Brain Activity Reflecting Attentional Biasing Toward Reward-Predicting Cues Covaries with Economic Decision-Making Performance.
(Cereb Cortex, 2016-01)
Adaptive choice behavior depends critically on identifying and learning from outcome-predicting
cues. We hypothesized that attention may be preferentially directed toward certain
outcome-predicting cues. We studied this ...
The influence of different Stop-signal response time estimation procedures on behavior-behavior and brain-behavior correlations.
(Behav Brain Res, 2012-04-01)
The fundamental cognitive-control function of inhibitory control over motor behavior
has been extensively investigated using the Stop-signal task. The critical behavioral
parameter describing stopping efficacy is the Stop-signal ...
