Numerous studies showed decreased performance in situations that require multiple tasks
or actions relative to appropriate control conditions. Because humans often engage in such …

How does the brain encode information about the environment? Decades of research have
led to the pervasive notion that the object-processing pathway in primate cortex consists of …

The frontal lobes control wide-ranging cognitive functions; however, functional subdivisions
of human frontal cortex are only coarsely mapped. Here, functional magnetic resonance …

Eye-movement patterns in 'Sally–Anne'tasks reflect humans' ability to implicitly process the
mental states of others, particularly false-beliefs—a key theory of mind (ToM) operation. It …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been shown to improve single-and dual-
task performance in healthy participants and enhance transferable training gains following …

The anterior insula (AI) and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) are engaged in various
cognitive and affective processes. An influential account posits that the AI and dACC's …

The human prefrontal cortex contains two prominent areas, the frontal eye field and the
inferior frontal junction, that are crucially involved in the orchestrating functions of attention …

The evolved capacity for third-party punishment is considered crucial to the emergence and
maintenance of elaborate human social organization and is central to the modern provision …

Processing speed is an important construct in understanding cognition. This study was
aimed to control task specificity for understanding the neural mechanisms underlying …

Despite its everyday ubiquity, not much is currently known about cognitive processes
involved in flexible shifts of attention between external and internal information. An important …
