Controlling memory and resolving interference : prefrontal contributions to flexible behavior
Flow does the brain meet shifting task demands? The experiments and formal theoretical framework presented in this dissertation characterize the cognitive and neural processes by which flexible performance is enabled during task switching. Chapter 1 reviews major findings and controversies in the …

Task Switching and Distractibility
In this thesis I examined the effects of task switching on people’s ability to ignore irrelevant distractors. Load theory proposes that distractor interference critically depends on the availability of executive control to minimise the effects of irrelevant stimuli (e.g. Lavie, 2000). Much work on …

The role of the default mode network in contextual control
… only. Chapter 3 asks whether regions beyond the ‘task-positive’ multiple demand network are necessary for adequate performance in more lifelike naturalistic tasks. This neuropsychology experiment used behavioural data accumulated from brain lesioned patients across a series of naturalistic tasks …

Hardware Support for a Configurable Architecture for Real-Time Embedded Systems on a Programmable Chip
… operating system providing fast context switches. As part of the hardware RTOS, the following have been implemented in hardware: scheduler, register banks, mutex, semaphore, queue, interrupts, event, and others. A novel circuit called the Task-Resource Matrix has been created to allow …
