This study identifies neurophysiological signatures of mind blanking using EEG, showing distinct patterns compared to mind wandering and on-task states.

The paper examines how cardiac activity and brain-heart coupling relate to attentional states and vigilance during a sustained attention task.

This study examines neural differences in conflict monitoring and attention between meditators and non-meditators using ERP measurements, finding enhanced N2 responses in meditators during hard Nogo trials.

This study finds that slow oscillation-spindle coupling during sleep predicts better sequence-based language learning and is linked to memory consolidation and theta activity.

This study uses computational models to show that psilocybin increases reward acquisition in rats by enhancing task engagement through altered forgetting rates and reduced loss aversion.

This study finds that experienced meditators have stronger forward traveling cortical alpha waves and weaker backward traveling alpha waves compared to non-meditators during rest and a cognitive task.

This study shows that older adults show reduced adaptation of prediction error signals in language processing compared to younger adults, linked to neural noise and changes in aperiodic EEG metrics.

The paper investigates how prior expectations improve speech comprehension in noisy conditions by analyzing EEG and pupillometry data.

The paper shows that 1/f and oscillatory EEG activity jointly predict word order rule learning in an artificial language task.

This study examines attentional processing during walking and navigation in natural environments using EEG, finding differences in neural responses compared to lab settings.

The paper investigates how pre-encoding alpha oscillations affect memory consolidation during wake versus sleep, finding that higher alpha power during wake enhances memory retention.

This paper introduces an automated method for estimating individual alpha frequency (IAF) using spectral smoothing, showing improved reliability compared to simpler methods.
