Neural dynamics supporting flexible cognition
<p>Flexible cognition enables humans to adapt their behavior to changing circumstances by prioritizing relevant information and filtering out distractions. This process is thought to be supported by the integration of ongoing behavioral goals with incoming sensory information, but how this …

The computations of neural circuits underlying flexible cognition and how they come to be
… decide on the next action in a goal directed and flexible manner. Presented with new situations, they rapidly construct the best new program to execute, given past knowledge, new information, their goals, and environmental constraints. To do so efficiently, the brain’s neural circuits and inner …

Positive mood and cognition: the moderating role of appetitive motivation, neural and physiological correlates
… that positive mood results in broader and more flexible cognition, including in relation to control of more complex cognitive processes (e.g., divergent thinking in creativity), as well as those that may be described as being more basic and fundamental (e.g., promoting flexibility over stability …

The Temporal Structure of Attention in Multi-Part Tasks
Human behaviour is extraordinarily flexible. Task fMRI and patient studies highlight a network of frontoparietal brain regions, called “multiple-demand” regions, that serve as a hub for flexible cognition. Neurons within this network adapt to code what is relevant for the current task, across many …

Creativity, altered states of consciousness and anomalous cognition: the role of epistemological flexibility in the creative process
… paranormal experiences); and anomalous cognition. The common thread is conceived as an examination of the extent to which creativity might involve ‘epistemological flexibility’ — that is, involves shifts into, and between, different ‘ways of knowing’. As such, a major part of this thesis …
