This study investigates how active control during learning affects memory-related neural activity and encoding-retrieval similarity, finding that active control enhances detailed recognition and modulates later ERP activity and encoding-retrieval pattern similarity.

The paper uses EEG and computational methods to show that face pareidolia involves a dynamic neural cascade integrating global and local visual features over time.

The paper introduces a longitudinal dataset of school-age children and adolescents in China, detailing its design, sampling, and neuroimaging measurements.

This study analyzes lifespan changes in brain activation related to cognitive control using a meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies, finding an inverted U-shaped trajectory and heterogeneous patterns across brain networks.

The paper proposes a cognitive space theory to reconcile domain-general and domain-specific cognitive control by showing conflicts are organized in a low-dimensional space based on similarity.

This study identifies distinct neural mechanisms for conflict adaptation within and across conflict types using fMRI, showing different activation and deactivation patterns in task-positive and task-negative networks.

This paper derives mathematical relations between brain connectivity measures from Gaussian data and tests their validity using simulations and empirical EEG data.

The paper develops a pipeline to generate age-specific MRI brain templates and growth charts for children and adolescents, revealing neurodevelopmental differences between Chinese and US populations.

This study investigates how oxytocin affects resting-state functional connectivity in brain networks related to mentalizing, finding changes in connectivity patterns and modulation by empathy traits.
