Individual Differences in Training Naive Listeners to Localize Spatial Audio in Virtual Reality

This study shows that training naive listeners improves spatial audio localization in VR, with generic HRTFs and training being sufficient for most applications.

Sound source history warps perceived azimuth and elevation

The paper investigates how the auditory system adapts to spatial sound contexts, showing that sound localization shifts based on recent auditory experiences.

Transfer of learned cognitive flexibility to novel stimuli and task sets

The paper shows that people can transfer learned expectations about cognitive flexibility demands across different task environments and stimuli.

Context-independent scaling of neural responses to task difficulty in the multiple-demand network

This study shows that the multiple-demand network processes task difficulty independently of context, using fMRI data from arithmetic tasks with varying difficulty levels.

Retrieval context determines whether event boundaries impair or enhance temporal order memory

The paper shows that event boundaries can either impair or enhance temporal order memory depending on whether context information is available during retrieval.

Hierarchical representation of multi-step tasks in multiple-demand and default mode networks

The paper examines how the multiple-demand and default mode networks represent multi-step tasks, finding dissociable temporal dynamics and representational content for task identity and step-level information.

The functional convergence and heterogeneity of social, episodic, and self-referential thought in the default mode network

The paper examines DMN subsystem activity during various cognitive tasks, finding partial functional separation and integration across subsystems.

The time-course of component processes of selective attention

This study uses MEG/EEG to track and compare multiple component processes of selective attention over time, identifying five distinct processing operations with different time-courses.

Response of the multiple-demand network during simple stimulus discriminations

This study examines how the multiple-demand network responds to varying task difficulty in simple sensory discriminations, finding little effect of sensory manipulations but increased activity with rule complexity.

Connectivity Patterns in Cognitive Control Networks Predict Naturalistic Multitasking Ability

The paper examines how connectivity patterns in prefrontal networks predict multitasking ability using resting-state fMRI data.
