Humans tend to discount information that undermines past choices and judgments. This
confirmation bias has significant impact on domains ranging from politics to science and …

Cognitive control is of great interest to researchers and practitioners. The concurrent
association between family socioeconomic status (SES) and adolescent cognitive control is …

Cognitive planning, the ability to develop a sequenced plan to achieve a goal, plays a
crucial role in human goal-directed behavior. However, the specific role of frontal structures …

The conflict monitoring theory postulates that conflict detection is initiated in the anterior
cingulate cortex (ACC), indexed by midfrontal theta oscillations in the electroencephalogram …

Accumulating evidence suggests that peripheral physiological processes, such as the
cardiac cycle, impact the individual's ability to appropriately exert control over behavior and …

Identifying the neuronal basis of spontaneous changes in conscious experience in the
absence of changes in the external environment is a major challenge. Binocular rivalry, in …

This study examined the effects of stimulation targeting dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
(DLPFC) on behavioral and neural oscillatory markers of proactive cognitive control in …

Intracranial electroencephalographic (icEEG) recordings provide invaluable insights into
neural dynamics in humans because of their unmatched spatiotemporal resolution. Yet …

Abstract The Stroop Task is a well-known neuropsychological task developed to investigate
conflict processing in the human brain. Our group has utilized direct intracranial neural …

The cortico-basal ganglia circuit is needed to suppress prepotent actions and to facilitate
controlled behavior. Under conditions of response conflict, the frontal cortex and …
