[HTML][HTML] Midfrontal theta activity in psychiatric illness: an index of cognitive vulnerabilities across disorders
There is an urgent need to identify the mechanisms that contribute to atypical thinking and
behavior associated with psychiatric illness. Behavioral and brain measures of cognitive …

Frontal theta predicts specific cognitive control-induced behavioural changes beyond general reaction time slowing
Investigations into the neurophysiological underpinnings of control suggest that frontal theta
activity is increased with the need for control. However, these studies typically show this link …

Oscillatory dynamics coordinating human frontal networks in support of goal maintenance
Humans have a capacity for hierarchical cognitive control—the ability to simultaneously
control immediate actions while holding more abstract goals in mind. Neuropsychological …

EEG fingerprints of task-independent mental workload discrimination
In the nascent field of neuroergonomics, mental workload assessment is one of the most
important issues and has an apparent significance in real-world applications. Although prior …

Are you an empiricist or a believer? Neural signatures of predictive strategies in humans
Predictive coding theory suggests that prior knowledge assists human behavior, from simple
perceptual formation to complex decision-making processes. Here, we manipulate prior …

Frontal midline theta differentiates separate cognitive control strategies while still generalizing the need for cognitive control
Cognitive control processes encompass many distinct components, including response
inhibition (stopping a prepotent response), proactive control (using prior information to enact …
