The paper uses EEG frequency tagging to show that less similar observed actions are more integrated in the brain, suggesting integration-by-dissimilarity resolves conflicts in complex social scenes.

The paper investigates how humans coordinate joint actions through neural representations, finding that integrated motor plans emerge during synchronized interactions but not during independent ones.

This study uses fMRI and RSA to show that frontoparietal cortex encodes exemplar-level stimulus information during visual classification, contrary to expectations that such coding would be restricted to posterior regions.

The paper shows that theta-phase connectivity between medial prefrontal and posterior brain areas increases during the implementation of novel instructions compared to their maintenance, supporting a role for theta oscillations in task execution.

The paper investigates how neural oscillations track the proceduralization of novel instructions through EEG recordings and time-frequency analysis, finding distinct theta, mu, and beta activity patterns during implementation versus maintenance.

This study uses fMRI to show that frontoparietal brain regions contain both procedural and declarative representations of novel instructions, with procedural activation predicting behavioral performance.
