Targeted Neuromodulation of Perceptual Decision-Making Networks Causally Dissociates Sensory and Metacognitive performance

This study uses targeted neuromodulation to show that sensory and metacognitive performance in motion perception are dissociable, with V5/MT+ affecting discrimination and IPS/LIP affecting confidence.

Strengthening interhemispheric connectivity increases interregional information transfer between human primary motor areas

The paper shows that strengthening connections between left and right motor cortex increases information transfer in specific EEG frequency bands in right-handed individuals.

The heartbeat-evoked potential in young and older adults during attention orienting

This study investigates whether the heartbeat-evoked potential (HEP) mediates the effect of attention on reaction time in young and older adults, finding no evidence of such mediation.

Timing along the cardiac cycle modulates neural signals of reward-based learning

The paper shows that cardiac cycle timing modulates neural signals related to reward-based learning, specifically affecting sensitivity to low magnitude prediction errors.

Strengthening connectivity between premotor and motor cortex increases inter-areal communication in the human brain

The paper shows that paired associative stimulation alters phase synchrony between premotor and motor cortex, linking changes in neural connectivity to oscillatory power during movement.

Entraining corticocortical plasticity changes oscillatory activity in action control and inhibition

This study shows that altering corticocortical plasticity between PMv and M1 changes oscillatory activity in motor circuits, with state-dependent effects on beta and theta rhythms.
