This study investigates how state anxiety affects task disengagement in relation to trait anxiety, finding that trait anxiety reduces the impact of state anxiety on task disengagement.

This study evaluates the test-retest reliability of TMS-evoked potentials in non-motor cortical regions compared to motor cortex, finding lower reliability in non-motor areas and suggesting improvements through real-time monitoring.

The paper tests the Learning Progress Motivation theory by showing that task engagement and cognitive effort are mediated by dynamic performance changes in challenging tasks.

This study uses fMRI to investigate how the brain learns cognitive effort costs during task switching, finding distinct roles for the fronto-parietal network in tracking different aspects of effort.

This study investigates how cognitive control demands affect avoidance behavior using fMRI, finding partial support for the cost of control hypothesis and highlighting the role of task-negative networks.
