Transcranial direct current stimulation enhances error awareness under cognitive load by restoring working memory capacity, with implications for high-stakes human-computer interaction.

Study of suppression-based visual filters (Dim and Blur) to enhance attention in dynamic virtual environments with competing objects. Results show Dim-Strong filtering achieves optimal performance.

Virtual reality study shows that the sense of control over objects enhances subsequent visual search, remaining effective despite distractions, delays, and perspective changes.

Multi-method investigation using performance-based and eye-tracking measures reveals how trauma manifests in attention patterns and behavioral response tendencies.

Calcium imaging reveals distinct activity patterns in mPFC pathways to amygdala versus nucleus accumbens during anxiety, exploration, and social behaviors in mice.

Gradient-based analysis of brain organization reveals that emotion regulation success involves systematic reconfigurations along a hierarchy from sensory to integrative regions.

Study shows how caregiver social feedback during infancy shapes infant attention patterns. Infrequent responses increase vigilance while frequent responses reduce it, with lasting effects across.

EEG study reveals autistic adults show enhanced forward traveling waves during visual entrainment, suggesting reduced top-down predictions and increased bottom-up sensory processing compared to.

Effort amplifies dopamine reward responses through acetylcholine modulation of dopamine axons in the nucleus accumbens, explaining how organisms maintain reward-seeking under resource constraints.

Computational models of cognitive stages show that network-stage architectures outperform linear stages through estimation efficiency and explicit exposure tracking, not just parameter reduction.

Attentional instructions to monitor auditory feedback modulate neural and vocal motor responses differently in post-stroke aphasia and controls, with implications for speech recovery.

Study reveals that coordinated communication between parietal and frontal brain regions enables accurate numerical judgments in macaques, with disrupted interaction causing errors.

Active inference model reveals voluntary mental effort is governed by motivation for accuracy rather than inhibition of habitual responses in Stroop task performance.

Task learning increases information redundancy in macaque visual cortex while preserving individual neuron information, supporting Bayesian inference over efficiency-based models.

Individual Brain Charting releases high-resolution fMRI data from eleven participants across twelve cognitive domains, including eighteen new tasks with 180 contrasts for detailed cognitive.

Study reveals how hippocampus and frontal eye field coordinate neural mechanisms for exploring novel information versus revisiting familiar content during visual memory tasks.

Experimental study demonstrates children ages 4-8 calibrate resource-taking to socially instantiated relative status; gender differences emerge selectively under equal status conditions.

Brain imaging reveals how emotional conflict monitoring predicts cognitive decline in type 2 diabetes, using machine learning to identify early warning signs through functional connectivity patterns.

Study using real-time assessments to predict how social motivation influences social interactions in schizophrenia, identifying positive experiences and performance feedback as key factors.
