Abstract: Metacontrol, the regulation of cognitive strategies to balance persistence and flexibility, has been theorized to operate either as a tonic state, maintaining a consistent neural bias, or as a phasic mechanism, dynamically adjusting to situational… read more here.

Abstract: Higher-level cognitive functions are mediated via complex oscillatory activity patterns and its analysis is dominating cognitive neuroscience research. However, besides oscillatory (period) activity, also aperiodic activity constitutes neural dynamics, but its relevance for higher-level cognitive… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.1032304
Abstract: Metacontrol arises from the efficient retrieval of cognitive control by environmental cues that are predictive of the upcoming control demands. Previous studies have demonstrated that proactive and reactive metacontrol can be indexed by a list-wide… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/brainsci14111094
Abstract: Previous studies have shown that creative thinking is associated with metacontrol, but its neural basis is unknown. The present study explored the neural basis of both by assessing EEG complexity through multiscale entropy. Subjects were… read more here.
