Summary: This study investigates the cognitive processes of creativity using EEG technology. It reveals that creativity is associated with frontal lobe areas of the brain and that common association is an unconscious process. The findings provide insights into the roles of different cognitive factors in the creative design process.

Summary: Advancements in portable computer devices have allowed for studying human cognition in real-world scenarios, such as using an electric skateboard on an indoor running track. The study found reliable differences in event-related potentials during the auditory oddball task on the skateboard. Results indicated that increased riding difficulty during skateboard motion did not affect cognitive resources.

Summary: This study examined the responses to personally relevant social rewards, money, and neutral outcomes in individuals with and without autism. The results showed that autism did not differentially influence responses to these outcomes, but was associated with enhanced early anticipation brain responses and larger pupil constrictions during reward reception.

Summary: The study found that HIV+ abstinent cocaine-dependent individuals continue to exhibit persistent behavioral and neurophysiological impairments in response inhibition, despite their current abstinence from cocaine. HIV+ individuals with a history of cocaine dependence showed the poorest performance in task accuracy, indicating that their recovery of inhibitory control may be attenuated. Synergistic alterations in the neurophysiology of response inhibition were observed in participants with both HIV and cocaine dependence.

Summary: Social cognition and inhibitory control are interrelated, with overlapping brain regions in functionality and structure, especially in frontal brain areas. Measuring frontotemporal neuroconnectivity in infancy can predict the development trajectory of social cognition and inhibitory control.

Summary: In recent years, research into the relationship between emotion and cognition has provided unique insights into fundamental questions about the human mind and mental disease. This systematic analysis of EEG research found that emotional states alter neural markers of cognitive control, with affective induction having a strong influence on attentional processes and response inhibition. Future research should explore different methodologies to better understand the brain's areas and dynamic response during affective induction activities.

Summary: This study utilized EEG theta band activity to examine the dynamics between pre-trial and within-trial control processes in AD(H)D subtypes, revealing significant differences. The results show distinct patterns of response inhibition and AD(H)D subtype differences in at least three factors, providing insight into potential cognitive-neurophysiological facets that may distinguish AD(H)D subtypes.

Summary: The evidence suggests that individuals with psychopathy have difficulty adjusting their behavior according to environmental demands and display altered performance monitoring. Studies have shown contradictory results in electrophysiological markers of error monitoring for this population, and it is hypothesized that different dimensions of psychopathy may influence these outcomes. Individuals with impulsive antisocial features tend to have abnormal ERN responses compared to those with interpersonal-affective features.

Summary: A systematic review on exercise intervention studies using event-related potentials (ERPs) as outcome for cognitive performance suggests that aerobic exercise interventions have a positive impact on attention, working memory, and inhibition, although the exact neural mechanisms underlying this relationship remain uncertain.

These findings have implications for developing targeted and effective treatments for contamination OCD.

Summary: Motor atypicalities are common in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and research on basic motor processing in autistic individuals is surprisingly sparse. In this study, we analyzed EEG data from a large sample of autistic and neurotypical children and adolescents, revealing clear motor-related neural responses in ASD, but with subtle differences compared to typically developing participants. Group differences were most prominent in the youngest group of children (age 6-9), suggesting the need for further investigations in younger children.

Summary: Research suggests that the P3 event-related potential observed in action-stopping tasks in the laboratory may not only reflect motor inhibition, but also detection of infrequent events. Two studies demonstrate that the characteristics of P3 related to motor inhibition are only present in the stop-signal task, not in a change-detection task. Furthermore, after modifying the event frequency in the change-detection task, a similar P3-like potential response was elicited, but with smaller amplitude.

Summary: Research using scalp EEG recordings in 41 healthy adult participants during a bimanual RT task showed that proactive inhibitory control is implemented by upregulating the tonic inhibition of the motor system, as indicated by increased sensorimotor beta-bursting both before and after signals to initiate a movement. This strategic deployment of proactive inhibitory motor control increased the likelihood of successful movement cancellation, with differences in beta bursting rates during movement initiation playing a key role.

Summary: There is a recognition in the neuroscience community that enhancing the replicability of studies on the relationship between brain activity and cognitive phenomena requires high statistical power and standardized analysis pipelines. In response, the #EEGManyLabs project has been launched to replicate key findings from influential EEG studies through international collaboration. The project aims to update confidence in EEG discoveries, create an open access database for future research, and promote a cultural shift towards inclusive, high-powered multi-laboratory collaborations.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of action errors and unexpected perceptual events on behavior and neural oscillations using scalp EEG. The results indicated that unexpected events had different impacts on behavior and frontal midline delta-to-theta dynamics during different post-error periods, supporting the concept of two distinct post-error stages.

Summary: This study introduces a two-stage model of action-stopping based on animal research to address controversies surrounding human action-stopping. The model suggests that attentional orienting and motor inhibition after stop-signals are inseparable, and inhibitory signatures after stop-signals can be divided into two sequential stages based on latency.
