Unity and diversity in working memory load: Evidence for the separability of the executive functions updating and inhibition using machine learning.

Biological psychology
OBJECTIVE: According to current theoretical models of working memory (WM), executive functions (EFs) like updating, inhibition and shifting play an important role in WM functioning. The models state that EFs highly correlate with each other but also ...

Age-related changes in the ease of dynamical transitions in human brain activity.

Human brain mapping
Executive functions, a set of cognitive processes that enable flexible behavioral control, are known to decay with aging. Because such complex mental functions are considered to rely on the dynamic coordination of functionally different neural system...

Beyond modularity: Fine-scale mechanisms and rules for brain network reconfiguration.

NeuroImage
The human brain is in constant flux, as distinct areas engage in transient communication to support basic behaviors as well as complex cognition. The collection of interactions between cortical and subcortical areas forms a functional brain network w...

Binding by Random Bursts: A Computational Model of Cognitive Control.

Journal of cognitive neuroscience
A neural synchrony model of cognitive control is proposed. It construes cognitive control as a higher-level action to synchronize lower-level brain areas. Here, a controller prefrontal area (medial frontal cortex) can synchronize two cortical process...

An efficient automatic workload estimation method based on electrodermal activity using pattern classifier combinations.

International journal of psychophysiology : official journal of the International Organization of Psychophysiology
Automatic workload estimation has received much attention because of its application in error prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of neural system impairment. The development of a simple but reliable method using minimum number of psychophysiologica...

Functional connectivity correlates of response inhibition impairment in anorexia nervosa.

Psychiatry research. Neuroimaging
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a disorder characterized by high levels of cognitive control and behavioral perseveration. The present study aims at exploring inhibitory control abilities and their functional connectivity correlates in patients with AN. Inh...

Exploring the dynamics of design fluency in children with and without ADHD using artificial neural networks.

Child neuropsychology : a journal on normal and abnormal development in childhood and adolescence
The neuropsychology of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been extensively studied, with a general focus on global performance measures of executive function. In this study, we compared how global (i.e., endpoint) versus process (i.e...

Distributed Representations for Cognitive Control in Frontal Medial Cortex.

Journal of cognitive neuroscience
In natural and artificial neural networks, modularity and distributed structure afford complementary but competing benefits. The former allows for hierarchical representations that can flexibly recombine modules to address novel problems, whereas the...

Identifying Mild Cognitive Impairment by Using Human-Robot Interactions.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD
BACKGROUND: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which is common in older adults, is a risk factor for dementia. Rapidly growing health care demand associated with global population aging has spurred the development of new digital tools for the assessmen...
