Summary: This paper proposes a novel task policy representation called Task Parse Tree (TPT) to automatically learn task-relevant actions from videos. By utilizing spatio-temporal graph (STG) and conjugate action graph (CAG), TPT achieves accurate and interpretable task planning in different scenarios.

Summary: This study compared the cross-task consistency in indexing MWL variations between power spectral density (PSD) of ongoing EEG and task-irrelevant auditory ERPs (tir-aERPs). The results showed that task type significantly influenced the MWL-sensitive features of both tir-aERPs and PSDs. The tir-aERP features outperformed the PSD features in cross-task classification.

Summary: The study found that humans exhibit attentional biases toward positive natural sounds, which can modulate spatial attention in both auditory and visual tasks. It also enhances attention at early stages in healthy adults.

Summary: Our study examined modality differences in N2 and P3 components of event-related potentials in somatosensory and auditory Go/No-go paradigms. We found specific features in the somatosensory paradigm, such as shorter peak latency of No-go-N2 and larger peak amplitude of P3, while different findings emerged in the auditory paradigm. Our data suggest weaker relationships between behavioral responses and ERP components in prepubescent children compared to adults using similar paradigms.

Summary: This study investigated whether manipulating time intervals between probes could improve the temporal resolution for evaluating mental workload. The results suggest that manipulations of time intervals did not greatly improve the temporal resolution in evaluating mental workload, at least with a multiple-stimulus paradigm.

Summary: This study investigated whether the N2 or P3 component in the count/no-count task reflects response inhibition. Results showed a stronger N2 in the no-count condition, indicating stronger response conflict or inhibition. Enhanced P3 components were observed in the count and Add 1 conditions, suggesting greater attentional resources consumption during memory updating.

Summary: This study investigates the sound change of aspirated stops in Korea by comparing neural and behavioral responses between younger and older generations of Korean speakers. The results showed that both generations performed well in distinguishing aspirated stops from lax stops in the behavioral task, but there were generational differences in neural sensitivities.

Summary: This study investigates the differences in task performance and neurophysiology between adults with ADHD and healthy controls, and explores the associations between these domains. The results show that the ADHD group exhibits increased reaction time variability, commission and omission errors, and attenuated amplitudes of certain event-related potentials. Self-reported symptoms decrease in the ADHD group over two years, but behavioral measures remain unchanged. The amplitudes of some event-related potentials also decrease in both groups over two years. However, there is no robust association between symptom burden and behavioral or event-related potential measures. These findings suggest more efficient neuronal processing in stable task performance.

Summary: The study found that individuals with Alzheimer's disease showed similarities in lexical decision tasks compared to older adults, but were significantly slower in judging pseudowords. The results from the ERP tasks indicated that the two groups behaved differently in eliciting the P-3 ERP response, suggesting differences in how they form lexical categories.
