• Broadband dynamics rather than frequency-specific rhythms underlie prediction error in the primate auditory cortex 

    Canales-Johnson, Andrés F.; Teixeira Borges, Ana F.; Komatsu, Misako; Fujii, Naotaka; Fahrenfort, Johannes; Miller, Kai J.; Noreika, Valdas (2021)
    Detection of statistical irregularities, measured as a prediction error response, is fundamental to the perceptual monitoring of the environment. We studied whether prediction error response is associated with neural ...

  • Decreased alertness reconfigures cognitive control networks 

    Canales-Johnson, Andrés F.; Beerendonk, Lola; Blain, Salome; Kitaoka, Shin; Ezquerro-Nassar, Alejandro; Nuiten, Stijn; Fahrenfort, Johannes; van Gaal, Simon; Bekinschtein, Tristan A. (2020)
    Humans' remarkable capacity to flexibly adapt their behavior based on rapid situational changes is termed cognitive control. Intuitively, cognitive control is thought to be affected by the state of alertness; for example, ...

  • Preserved sensory processing but hampered conflict detection when stimulus input is task-irrelevant 

    Nuiten, Stijn; Canales-Johnson, Andrés F.; Beerendonk, Lola; Nanuashvili, Nutsa; Fahrenfort, Johannes; Bekinschtein, Tristan A.; van Gaal, Simon (2021)
    Conflict detection in sensory input is central to adaptive human behavior. Perhaps unsurprisingly, past research has shown that conflict may even be detected in the absence of conflict awareness, suggesting that conflict ...
