Recent research has taken advantage of the temporal and spatial resolution of event-related
brain potentials (ERPs) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify the …

Cognitive deficits are very common in Parkinson's disease particularly for 'executive
functions' associated with frontal cortico-striatal networks. Previous work has identified …

A central aspect of cognitive control is the capacity to anticipatorily prepare for specific task
requirements prior to carrying out a task. To study the changes caused by task preparation …

ERPs were used to explore the different patterns of processing of cognate and noncognate
words in the first (L1) and second (L2) language of a population of second language …

We investigated ERP and fMRI correlates of anticipatory preparation and response inhibition
in a cued task-switching paradigm with informatively cued, non-informatively cued and no …

Event-based prospective memory (PM) requires remembering the delayed execution of an
intended action in response to a pre-specified PM cue while being actively engaged in an …

Changing between cognitive tasks requires a reorganization of cognitive processes.
Behavioural evidence suggests this can occur in advance of the stimulus. However, the …

Flexible control of behavior depends on the representation, maintenance, and updating of
context information in working memory, which is thought to rely on the prefrontal cortex …

Electrophysiological studies investigating task switching usually reveal results of the parietal
P3. In this study we investigated the frontal and parietal P3 after cues, targets and responses …

Motivation is often thought to interact consciously with executive control, although recent
studies have indicated that motivation can also be unconscious. To date, however, the …
