Performance errors in conflict tasks often result from inappropriate action impulses, and are
thought to signal the need for increased control over the motor system. However, errors may …

In recent years, time-resolved multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) has gained much
popularity in the analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) …

Salient yet irrelevant objects often capture our attention and interfere with our daily tasks.
Distraction by salient objects can be reduced by suppressing the location where they are likely …

Large-amplitude sleep slow oscillations group faster neuronal oscillations and are of functional
relevance for memory performance. However, relatively little is known about the impact …

Current models of visual search assume that search is guided by an active visual working
memory representation of what we are currently looking for. This attentional template for …

During situations of response conflict, cognitive control is characterized by prefrontal theta-band
(3- to 8-Hz) activity. It has been shown that cognitive control can be triggered proactively …

Visual working memory (VWM) distinguishes between representations relevant for imminent
versus future perceptual goals. We investigated how the brain sequentially prioritizes visual …

Background Traditionally, EEG/MEG data are high-pass filtered and baseline-corrected to
remove slow drifts. Minor deleterious effects of high-pass filtering in traditional time-series …

Background Cross-frequency coupling methods allow for the identification of non-linear
interactions across frequency bands, which are thought to reflect a fundamental principle of how …

Dyslexia is heritable and associated with auditory processing deficits. We investigate whether
temporal auditory processing is compromised in young children at-risk for dyslexia and …
