A Multiplexed Neural Code Governs Dynamic Perception–Action Reconfiguration during Response Inhibition

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Tuesday, September 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractThe inhibition of actions is central for adaptive behavior, and recent concepts on the electrophysiological underpinning of perception–action integration suggest that an interplay of different frequency bands is likely central for the management of...

Visual Perceptual Learning Enhances Functional Connectivity in Retinotopic Space

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Tuesday, September 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractRepeated exposure to perceptual tasks improves behavioral performance. Several neural mechanisms have been proposed to account for such perceptual learning. Computational modeling suggests that plasticity in the connectivity between cortical sites may be...

Physiological Evidence for the Time-dependent Resolution of Response Conflicts

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Tuesday, September 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractCognitive control encapsulates the mental processes that support goal-directed behavior and overcome habitual/automatic drives. Traditional RT approaches obscure the temporal dynamics of conflict resolution. We recently proposed the use of a forced-response...

Passive but Accessible: Studied Information Is Not Actively Stored in Working Memory, Yet Attended Regardless of Anticipated Load

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Tuesday, September 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractWorking memory (WM) has a limited capacity of three to four items, yet people often encounter more information than this limit allows. A potential strategy, especially when overload is expected, is to hand off familiar content to long-term memory (LTM),...

Extensive Experience Remodels Neural Task Circuitry to Escape the Frontal Bottleneck and Increase Automaticity of Categorization

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Tuesday, September 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractObject category learning is a foundational cognitive process. Most human category learning studies involve brief paradigms lasting a few hours and show increased shape tuning in visual areas and task-dependent responses in PFC. Other studies also identify a...

Alpha and Beta Frequency Modulations in Motion Prediction Reveal Mechanisms of Predictive Coding in Perception

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Tuesday, September 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractPerception is an active process guided by prior knowledge and expectations, allowing the brain to optimize sensory processing and reduce uncertainty. Although modulations in alpha (7–13 Hz) and beta (15–25 Hz) frequencies have been linked to perceptual and...
