Attentional prioritization reconfigures novel instructions into action-oriented task sets

C González-García, S Formica, B Liefooghe, M Brass - Cognition, 2020 - Elsevier
An astonishing aspect of human cognitive flexibility concerns the ability to efficiently convert
complex symbolic instructions into novel behaviors. In such ability, the rapid transformation …

Theta-phase connectivity between medial prefrontal and posterior areas underlies novel instructions implementation

S Formica, C González-García, M Senoussi… - Eneuro, 2022 - eneuro.org
Implementing novel instructions is a complex and uniquely human cognitive ability, which
requires the rapid and flexible conversion of symbolic content into a format that enables the …

The effects of declaratively maintaining and proactively proceduralizing novel stimulus-response mappings

S Formica, C González-García, M Brass - Cognition, 2020 - Elsevier
Working memory (WM) allows for the maintenance and manipulation of information when
carrying out ongoing tasks. Recent models propose that representations in WM can be either …

[HTML][HTML] Neural oscillations track the maintenance and proceduralization of novel instructions

S Formica, C González-García, M Senoussi, M Brass - NeuroImage, 2021 - Elsevier
Humans are capable of flexibly converting symbolic instructions into novel behaviors. Previous
evidence and theoretical models suggest that the implementation of a novel instruction …

[HTML][HTML] Frontoparietal action-oriented codes support novel instruction implementation

C González-García, S Formica, D Wisniewski, M Brass - NeuroImage, 2021 - Elsevier
A key aspect of human cognitive flexibility concerns the ability to convert complex symbolic
instructions into novel behaviors. Previous research proposes that this transformation is …

[HTML][HTML] Canonical template tracking: measuring the activation state of specific neural representations

AF Palenciano, M Senoussi, S Formica… - Frontiers in …, 2023 - frontiersin.org
Multivariate analyses of neural data have become increasingly influential in cognitive
neuroscience since they allow to address questions about the representational signatures of …

[HTML][HTML] The neural bases of event monitoring across domains: A simultaneous ERP-fMRI study

V Tarantino, I Mazzonetto, S Formica… - Frontiers in Human …, 2017 - frontiersin.org
The ability to check and evaluate the environment over time with the aim to detect the
occurrence of target stimuli is supported by sustained/tonic as well as transient/phasic control …

[HTML][HTML] Internal attention modulates the functional state of novel stimulus-response associations in working memory

S Formica, AF Palenciano, L Vermeylen, NE Myers… - Cognition, 2024 - Elsevier
Abstract Information in working memory (WM) is crucial for guiding behavior. However, not
all WM representations are equally relevant simultaneously. Current theoretical frameworks …

Coordinated social interactions are supported by integrated neural representations

S Formica, M Brass - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Joint actions are defined as coordinated interactions of two or more agents towards a shared
goal, often requiring different and complementary individual contributions. However, how …

Neural oscillations dissociate between maintenance and proceduralization of novel instructions

S Formica, C González-García, M Senoussi, M Brass - bioRxiv, 2020 - biorxiv.org
Humans are extremely efficient in rapidly and flexibly converting complex symbolic
instructions into novel behaviors. Previous evidence and theoretical models suggest that the …
