Flexible action selection requires cognitive control mechanisms capable of mapping the
same inputs to different output actions depending on the context. From a neural state-space …

When making decisions in a cluttered world, humans and other animals often have to hold
multiple items in memory at once—such as the different items on a shopping list …

Flexible and context-dependent behaviors require animals, including humans, to identify
their current contextual state for proper rules to apply, especially when information that …

Influential models of cortical organization propose a close relationship between
heteromodal association areas and highly connected hubs in the default mode network. The …

A pedestrian crossing a street during rush hour often looks and listens for potential danger.
When they hear several different horns, they localize the cars that are honking and decide …

The brain has a well-known large scale organization at the level of brain regions, where
different regions have been argued to primarily serve different behavioral functions. This …

Extensive practice makes task performance more efficient and precise, leading to
automaticity. However, theories of automaticity differ on which levels of task representations …

A key challenge in neuroscience is to understand the structural and functional relationships
of the brain from high-dimensional, multimodal neuroimaging data. While conventional …

Mental operations like computing the value of an option are computationally expensive.
Even before we evaluate options, we must decide how much attentional effort to invest in the …
