I’m pleased with our findings reported here showing that brain networks involved in “Multiple Demand” and “Re-evaluation” support reappraisal. Let us know your thoughts!

After many (many) years of work with Dr. Chantal Percival we have open-science published an "edited book" Cognitive
Modes Detectable with Task-Based fMRI. Results on a total of 28 tasks are reported.

Using tACS? So many decisions to make (stimulation frequency/montage), but the task matters too, and could help direct tACS effects to specific brain areas. Trainee Dr. Abhijit Chinchani's excellent work is now available in pre-print form:

We welcome comments on our JoCN Forum post on how focus on spatial information in task-based fMRI has slowed cognitive neuroscience, and that advancement would have been accelerated by including task-induced BOLD signal changes.
