Global nonequilibrium cortical dynamics tie mid-level pupil-linked arousal to optimal task performance in humans

The paper examines how global cortical dynamics, measured via EEG and pupil-linked arousal, relate to perceptual sensitivity under different neuromodulator conditions.

Effects of expectation, attention, and NMDA receptor blockade on feedforward and feedback processing

The paper investigates how expectations, attention, and NMDA receptor blockade modulate sensory processing stages using EEG decoding in a visual stimulus experiment.

Adaptive arousal regulation: Pharmacologically shifting the peak of the Yerkes-Dodson curve by catecholaminergic enhancement of arousal

This study pharmacologically manipulates arousal in humans to test its impact on performance, finding that catecholaminergic enhancement shifts the arousal-performance curve while cholinergic agents do not.

A causal role of the NMDA receptor in recurrent processing during perceptual inference: NMDA receptor antagonist memantine selectively improves EEG decoding of the Kanizsa illusion

Catecholaminergic neuromodulation and selective attention jointly shape perceptual decision-making

This study investigates how catecholaminergic neuromodulation and spatial attention jointly influence perceptual decision-making through behavioral, algorithmic, and neural measures.

Conscious perception and the modulatory role of dopamine: no effect of the dopamine D2 agonist cabergoline on visual masking, the attentional blink, and probabilistic discrimination

This study investigates the effect of dopamine D2 agonist cabergoline on conscious perception tasks and finds no significant impact on visual masking, attentional blink, or probabilistic discrimination.
