The readiness potential (RP)—a key ERP correlate of upcoming action—is known to
precede subjects' reports of their decision to move. Some view this as evidence against a …

Voluntary actions can be fractionated in different phenomena: from the emergence of
intentions and the ensuing motor plans and actions, to the anticipation and monitoring of …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is central to flexible, goal-directed cognition, and understanding
its representational code is an important problem in cognitive neuroscience. In humans …

Abstract The frontoparietal “multiple-demand”(MD) control network plays a key role in goal-
directed behavior. Recent developments of multivoxel pattern analysis (MVPA) for fMRI data …

Alternating between two tasks is effortful and impairs performance. Previous fMRI studies
have found increased activity in frontoparietal cortex when task switching is required. One …

In dialogue, language processing is adapted to the conversational partner. We hypothesize
that the brain facilitates partner-adapted language processing through preparatory neural …
