Research on preparatory brain processes taking place before acting shows unexpected
connections with cognitive processing. From 50 years, we know that motor-related brain …

In the previous 15 years, a variety of experimental paradigms and methods have been
employed to study inhibition. In the current review, we analyze studies that have used the …

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of age-related changes in cortical activity
related to the motor preparation involved in simple-and discriminative-reaction tasks. To …

We recorded Electroencephalograms (EEGs) during a cued Continuous Performance Task
(CPT) to investigate lifespan differences in the efficiency of response conflict processing …

Attentional and Executive Processing in Middle-Age Fencers. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol …

This study used fMRI to investigate the neural effects of increasing cognitive demands in
normal aging and their role for performance. Simple and complex go/no-go tasks were used …

Aging affects the interplay between peripheral and cortical auditory processing. Previous
studies have demonstrated that older adults are less able to regulate afferent sensory …

An important aspect of cognitive control is the ability to overcome interference, by boosting
the processing of task-relevant information while suppressing the irrelevant information. This …

Suppressing the neural activities to non-target stimuli becomes problematic with advancing
age. Go/Nogo tasks, in which subjects are instructed to respond to a certain type of stimuli …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aging on inhibitory processes and
attentional resources in a long-lasting Go/No-Go sustained attention task using the event …
