Human Beta Oscillations Reflect Magnitude and Fidelity of Priority Shifts in Working Memory.

This study investigates the role of neural oscillations in working memory prioritization using EEG, finding that beta power scales with priority shift magnitude and predicts memory fidelity.

Hierarchical coding of local and global positions in episodic memory for naturalistic sequences

The paper investigates how the brain encodes hierarchical positions in naturalistic sequence memory, finding separable neural representations for global and local positions with distinct dimensional and temporal characteristics.

Alpha and Beta Oscillations Mediate the Effect of Motivation on Neural Coding of Cognitive Flexibility

This study investigates how reward influences neural oscillations and their impact on cognitive flexibility, finding that higher anticipated rewards lead to desynchronisation of alpha and beta oscillations, which correlate with improved task performance.

Goal-seeking compresses neural codes for space in the human hippocampus and orbitofrontal cortex

The paper shows that goal-directed behavior compresses neural representations of space in the hippocampus and orbitofrontal cortex, with compressed representations predicting successful learning.

A hierarchy of functional states in working memory

This study identifies two functional states in working memory: an active state for immediate task-relevant items and a latent state for prospective items, showing how they contribute to decision-making.

Reward boosts neural coding of task rules to optimise cognitive flexibility

This study shows that reward prospect enhances neural coding of task rules, improving cognitive flexibility during decision-making.
