Abstract Concepts of cognitive control (CC) and executive function (EF) are defined in terms
of their relationships with goal-directed behavior versus habits and controlled versus …

Choosing how much effort to expend is critical for everyday decisions. While several
neuroimaging studies have examined effort-based decision-making, results have been …

How do people limit awareness of unwanted memories? When such memories intrude, a
control process engages the right DLPFC (rDLPFC) to inhibit hippocampal activity and stop …

Attachment theory is built on the assumption of consistency; the mother–infant bond is
thought to underpin the life-long representations individuals construct of attachment …

Forming and comparing subjective values (SVs) of choice options is a critical stage of
decision-making. Previous studies have highlighted a complex network of brain regions …

Both conflict and error processing have been linked to the midfrontal theta power (4–8 Hz)
increase as indicated by EEG studies and greater hemodynamic activity in the anterior …

Decisions that require taking effort costs into account are ubiquitous in real life. The neural
common currency theory hypothesizes that a particular neural network integrates different …

Prediction on the partner's speech plays a key role in a smooth conversation. However,
previous studies on this issue have been majorly conducted at the single-brain rather than …

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a category of hearing loss that often leads to difficulty
in understanding speech and other sounds. Auditory system dysfunction, including deafness …

Learning how to reach a reward over long series of actions is a remarkable capability of
humans, and potentially guided by multiple parallel learning modules. Current brain imaging …
