Studies examining individual differences in working memory capacity (WMC) have
suggested that low WMC individuals have particular deficits in attention control processes …

Background Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is a new, non-invasive
technique being investigated as an intervention for a variety of clinical disorders, including …

Event-related potentials (ERPs) represent the cortical processing of sensory, motor or
cognitive functions invoked by particular events or stimuli. A current theory posits that the …

An identical sensory stimulus may or may not be incorporated into perceptual experience,
depending on the behavioral and cognitive state of the organism. What determines whether …

Transcutaneous stimulation of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve (tVNS) has been
proposed as a treatment for a spectrum of physical and psychological disorders. One of the …

Researchers have proposed several hypotheses about the neuromodulator systems
involved in generating P3 components of the ERP. To test some of these hypotheses, we …

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a non-invasive
neurostimulation technique that is thought to modulate noradrenergic activity. Previous …

To make optimal predictions in a dynamic environment, the impact of new observations on
existing beliefs—that is, the learning rate—should be guided by ongoing estimates of …

Studies in animals and humans have implicated the neurotransmitter dopamine in duration
processing. However, very few studies have examined dopamine's involvement in other …

Deficits in the noradrenergic system are associated with age-related cognitive decline, yet
how healthy aging influences the functional properties of this arousal system is still poorly …
