Distinct neural states encode task identity in frontal eye field and interact with its core spatial properties

This study identifies a task-identity neural state in the frontal eye field of macaques, showing distinct representations for different tasks and non-linear mixing of task and spatial information.

The cost of multiplexing: PFC integrates multiple sources of information in non-orthogonal components accounting for behavioral variability

The paper investigates how the frontal eye field encodes multiple sources of information using non-orthogonal components, showing how this configuration affects behavioral variability.

Distractibility and impulsivity neural states are distinct from attention states and modulate the implementation of attention

Early changes in corticomotor excitability underlie proactive inhibitory control of error correction

The paper identifies a sustained decrease in corticomotor excitability as a neural marker of proactive inhibitory control during error correction.

Causal contributions of neural noise to left frontal networks subtending the modulation of conscious visual perception in the human brain

This study investigates how non-frequency-specific TMS affects neural noise and brain activity during a visual detection task, finding increased signal entropy and cortical noise.

Attentional brain rhythms during prolonged cognitive activity

The paper shows that prolonged cognitive activity in humans and non-human primates exhibits rhythmic fluctuations in performance, arousal, and neural activity, rather than a monotonic decline.

Causal modulation of right fronto-parietal phase synchrony with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation during a conscious visual detection task

This study shows that rhythmic TMS increases high-beta synchrony between right frontal and parietal regions, enhancing visual detection sensitivity.

Integrating When and What Information in the Left Parietal Lobe Allows Language Rule Generalization

The paper shows that after statistical learning, goal-directed attention in the left parietal lobe enables rule generalization in language learning.

Entrainment of local synchrony reveals a causal role for high-beta right frontal oscillations in human visual consciousness

This study shows that rhythmic high-beta stimulation of the right Frontal Eye Field enhances visual detection through entrainment of local oscillations.

Perturbation-based mapping of natural frequencies with direct intracranial stimulation of the human brain

This study uses intracranial EEG with direct brain stimulation to map natural frequencies in the human brain, revealing diverse spectral patterns at a local scale.
