While the precise role of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is still being discussed, it has
been suggested that ACC activity might reflect the amount of mental effort associated with …

Current concepts of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) increasingly emphasize its role as
an interface between limbic and neocortical functions. It has been pointed out that ACC …

Single-trial coupling of simultaneously recorded EEG and fMRI time-series can be used to
generate fMRI patterns of brain activity with high spatial resolution from EEG responses with …

The ability to perform effortful tasks is a topic that has received considerable interest in the
research of higher functions of the human brain. Neuroimaging studies show that the …

The function of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been discussed in the last years in
the context of conflict monitoring and error detection. In addition, ACC activity has been …

Analysis of neural oscillations in the electroencephalogram (EEG) during cognitive tasks
provides valuable information about underlying neuronal processing not accessible by other …

Event-related functional MRI and a version of the Stroop color naming task were used to test
two conflicting theories of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) function during executive …

Investment of cognitive effort is required in everyday life and has received ample attention in
recent neurocognitive frameworks. The neural mechanism of effort investment is thought to …

The basolateral amygdala (BLA) and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) region of the
prefrontal cortex form an interconnected neural circuit that may mediate certain types of …

Much everyday behavior is implicitly guided by hypotheses about the world which are
monitored and updated in the light of changing circumstances. The process of translating …
