Summary: Humans can detect conflict automatically even in the absence of conflict awareness, but neural signatures of conflict are only present when at least one feature of a potentially conflicting stimulus is attended, indicating an attentional bottleneck at the level of objects for cognitive control operations involved in conflict detection.

Summary: Increasing studies have shown that neural integration of multisensory cues can influence behavioral choices in sensory cortices. In this study, the researchers found that A1 neurons can enhance auditory responses to contralateral choices with task-irrelevant visual cues, facilitating sound discrimination.

Summary: In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of mouse tracking in experimental psychology, particularly in studies involving stimulus-response conflict. However, the impact of stimulus-stimulus compatibility on movements is still unclear. This study used a spatial arrow task to investigate both types of conflict and found that they both affected mouse trajectories.

Summary: The study suggests that product evaluations associated with Stroop conflict may be more negative than those associated with non-conflict, especially when participants are thirsty. This finding adds to the literature on cognitive conflict and negativity.

Summary: The Stroop task involves both information conflict and task conflict, with task conflict occurring independently and prior to information conflict. Task conflict is present not only in response trials but also in rest trials.

Summary: The present study failed to replicate the astonishing concept of conflict priming reported in previous work and does not open the doors for a new window on sequences of conflicts. Nevertheless, the failed replication is valuable for future research, since it demonstrated that Conflict Priming as a facilitation of processing of conflict trials following deviant tones, is not a confirmed finding.

Summary: Experimental paradigms such as Stroop, Simon, and Eriksen flanker tasks are used to measure response conflict, with delta plot analyses revealing marked differences in response time distributions. Manipulating stimulus materials across tasks can result in substantially different delta plot shapes, challenging previous assumptions about the factors influencing delta plots. Factors influencing delta plot shapes include the processing of interfering information in the visual cortex, rather than just differences in materials across relevant and irrelevant dimensions.

Summary: Cognitive interference, representing intrapsychic conflict, is linked to competitive neural assemblies during recognition and interpretation of encoded information. Increased neural complexity reflecting competition of distributed neural assemblies may play an important role in neural interactions related to processing conflicting information at the subjective level.

Summary: This experiment investigated the processing of tactile-visual information conflict in a tactile-visual pairing task, and how it is modulated by tactile-induced emotional states. The results suggest that a positive emotional state induced by tactile stimulation can improve conflict processing abilities in the task.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of classical music and white noise on conflict processing using the Stroop test and Wisconsin card sorting test. The findings showed that white noise increased the response time difference between congruent and incongruent trials, impairing performance, while classical music did not affect cognitive functions associated with conflict processing. These results suggest that further research is needed before implementing white noise into neuropsychiatric care.

Summary: This study investigates how sensory processing in sensory cortices is modulated by cross-modal interaction during perceptual tasks. The researchers recorded neural responses in the primary auditory cortex of rats performing discrimination tasks with audiovisual or unisensory cues. They found that cross-modal representation in auditory cortices varies with task contexts, with a significant increase in visually evoked responses during tasks with an audiovisual cue associated with reward. Additionally, associative learning seemed to have a plastic effect on multisensory enhancement in the auditory cortex. These findings suggest that multisensory processing in sensory cortices is not static and can be substantially enhanced by cross-modal interaction.

Summary: This study investigates the perceptual decision-making process by exploring the stimulus dependencies of activity-choice covariations. The authors provide theoretical conditions for understanding how sensory neural responses are linked to behavioral choices, and develop new tools to assess the stimulus-driven signals of each neuron accurately. The analysis on macaque MT neurons during a motion discrimination task offers preliminary empirical evidence for studying the stimulus dependencies of choice-related signals, encouraging further research in wider data sets.

Summary: This study examines the deficits in cognitive control and emotional processes in schizophrenia patients. The results show that patients have a marked impairment in conflict modulation with emotional content, especially in the emotional-emotional task. These deficits are relatively independent of clinical symptoms but are significantly related to cognitive symptoms.

Summary: Music training is closely related to executive functions, but previous studies have mainly focused on children and neglected conflict control ability in adults. This study used the Stroop task and event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate the association between music training and conflict control ability in Chinese college students. The results showed that individuals with music training performed better on the Stroop task, had faster reaction times, and exhibited different brain wave patterns compared to the control group. These findings support the hypothesis that music training can enhance conflict control ability and suggest directions for future research.

Summary: This study investigated a novel treatment approach, task-related, connectivity-based rTMS, to modulate brain activity by enhancing functional connectivity for more effective treatment of psychiatric disorders. The results showed significant increases in both the medial prefrontal cortex and amygdala activity, offering promising preliminary evidence for treating network dysregulation using this method. Further research is needed to understand the impact of connectivity on rTMS effects and improve therapeutic applications.

Summary: The study developed and tested a one-time intervention that integrates behavior skills training with concurrent repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), showing promising results in enhancing emotional regulation. This approach was found to be feasible, well-tolerated, and effective in improving emotional dysregulation.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of three thought-control strategies on unwanted intrusive thoughts (UITs) among elite athletes. The results showed that suppression enhanced priming and reduced conscious presence of UITs, while acceptance had the opposite effect. Additionally, the study revealed subtle effects of suppression and acceptance on UIT control processes.
