One digit too many: brain rhythms and autonomic responses at the limits of working memory capacity

The paper assesses neural and autonomic responses to exceeding digit span by one digit, finding that physiological measures shift in timing and effort rather than showing a clear breakpoint.

Temporal structure of item presentation modulates brain oscillations in verbal working memory

This study investigates how different temporal structures of item presentation affect brain oscillations during verbal working memory tasks, finding that alpha power is modulated by the presence of free intervals between stimuli.

Contingency awareness shapes neural responses in fear conditioning

This study shows that contingency awareness is necessary for fear conditioning, as evidenced by neural responses in the aware group during a task involving conditioned and unconditioned stimuli.

Theta transcranial alternating current stimulation is not effective in improving working memory performance

This study tests whether theta frequency tACS improves working memory but finds no significant effects on performance or theta activity.

Task-evoked pulse wave amplitude tracks cognitive load

This study compares pulse wave amplitude (PWA) and heart rate (HR) as measures of cognitive load during a memory task, finding PWA more sensitive to cognitive load and overload.

EEG and pupillometric signatures of working memory overload

The paper investigates EEG and pupillometric responses to working memory overload, finding a triphasic pattern in pupil size and theta activity that suggests physiological reset and effort release.

Pupillometry and electroencephalography in the digit span task

This paper provides a dataset of EEG, cardiovascular, and pupillometry data from participants performing a digit span task, enabling research on cognitive load and physiological responses.

Fear memory in humans is consolidated over time independent of sleep

This study shows fear memories in humans strengthen over time regardless of sleep, using ERP measurements during fear conditioning and extinction phases.

Temporally distinct oscillatory codes of retention and manipulation of verbal working memory

The paper reanalyzes EEG data to identify oscillatory brain activity patterns during verbal working memory tasks, finding distinct theta, alpha, and beta power changes associated with retention and manipulation.

Event-Related Potentials in an Associative Word Pair Learning Paradigm

The paper examines how unintentional learning of semantically unrelated word pairs affects event-related brain potentials, showing increased N400 amplitude when a new word follows an old word.

The electrophysiological underpinnings of variation in verbal working memory capacity

This study examines the relationship between cortical oscillatory activity and individual differences in verbal working memory capacity, finding that executive components, not storage, are key.

A Signature of Passivity? An Explorative Study of the N3 Event-Related Potential Component in Passive Oddball Tasks

The paper analyzes the N3 event-related potential component in passive oddball tasks, identifying two subcomponents with distinct topographies and oddball effects.

Classical conditioning in oddball paradigm: A comparison between aversive and name conditioning

This study compares aversive and name conditioning using an oddball paradigm, finding changes in cortical activity and ERP components related to multisensory integration and attention.

Name Conditioning in Event-Related Brain Potentials

The paper replicates and extends findings on name conditioning in ERP studies, showing P3 responses to own names despite lack of conscious recognition.

EEG correlates of working memory performance in females

The paper examines EEG correlates of working memory performance in females, finding differences in oscillatory activity between high and low performers during challenging tasks.
