Alpha oscillations in the human brain implement distractor suppression independent of target selection

M Wöstmann, M Alavash, J Obleser - Journal of Neuroscience, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
In principle, selective attention is the net result of target selection and distractor suppression.
The way in which both mechanisms are implemented neurally has remained contested. …

Dopaminergic modulation of hemodynamic signal variability and the functional connectome during cognitive performance

M Alavash, SJ Lim, C Thiel, B Sehm, L Deserno… - Neuroimage, 2018 - Elsevier
Dopamine underlies important aspects of cognition, and has been suggested to boost
cognitive performance. However, how dopamine modulates the large-scale cortical dynamics …

Is functional integration of resting state brain networks an unspecific biomarker for working memory performance?

M Alavash, P Doebler, H Holling, CM Thiel, C Gießing - Neuroimage, 2015 - Elsevier
Is there one optimal topology of functional brain networks at rest from which our cognitive
performance would profit? Previous studies suggest that functional integration of resting state …

Modular reconfiguration of an auditory control brain network supports adaptive listening behavior

M Alavash, S Tune, J Obleser - Proceedings of the National …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Speech comprehension in noisy, multitalker situations poses a challenge. Successful
behavioral adaptation to a listening challenge often requires stronger engagement of auditory …

[HTML][HTML] Neural attentional-filter mechanisms of listening success in middle-aged and older individuals

S Tune, M Alavash, L Fiedler, J Obleser - Nature Communications, 2021 - nature.com
Successful listening crucially depends on intact attentional filters that separate relevant from
irrelevant information. Research into their neurobiological implementation has focused on …

Persistency and flexibility of complex brain networks underlie dual‐task interference

M Alavash, CC Hilgetag, CM Thiel… - Human brain …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Previous studies on multitasking suggest that performance decline during concurrent task
processing arises from interfering brain modules. Here, we used graph‐theoretical network …

Dynamic coupling of complex brain networks and dual-task behavior

M Alavash, CM Thiel, C Gießing - Neuroimage, 2016 - Elsevier
Multi-tasking is a familiar situation where behavioral performance is often challenged. To
date, fMRI studies investigating the neural underpinning of dual-task interference have mostly …

[HTML][HTML] Dynamic large-scale connectivity of intrinsic cortical oscillations supports adaptive listening in challenging conditions

M Alavash, S Tune, J Obleser - PLoS Biology, 2021 - journals.plos.org
In multi-talker situations, individuals adapt behaviorally to this listening challenge mostly with
ease, but how do brain neural networks shape this adaptation? We here establish a long-…

[HTML][HTML] Individual differences in local functional brain connectivity affect TMS effects on behavior

C Gießing, M Alavash, CS Herrmann, CC Hilgetag… - Scientific Reports, 2020 - nature.com
Behavioral effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) often show substantial differences
between subjects. One factor that might contribute to these inter-individual differences is …

Large-scale network dynamics of beta-band oscillations underlie auditory perceptual decision-making

M Alavash, C Daube, M Wöstmann… - Network …, 2017 - direct.mit.edu
Perceptual decisions vary in the speed at which we make them. Evidence suggests that
translating sensory information into perceptual decisions relies on distributed interacting neural …
