Learning Rapid-Temporal Adaptations (2017, background): “This occurs on the ﬂy, within only a few hundred milliseconds, and supports a wide variety of task-speciﬁc behaviors [25, 31].”
Cognitive control over learning: creating, clustering, and generalizing task-set structure. (2013, neutral): “The error switch-cost has been mostly attributed to two mechanisms: the persistence of the previous task-set, and the reconfiguration of the new task-set (Monsell, 2003; Sakai, 2008).”

Rapid Adaptation with Conditionally Shifted Neurons (2017, background): “This occurs on the fly, within only a few hundred milliseconds, and supports a wide variety of task-specific behaviors (Monsell, 2003; Sakai, 2008).”
Task switching: interplay of reconfiguration and interference control. (2010, background): “We do not include an overview of the brain imaging and event-related potential (ERP) data in the present review (for such a review, see Sakai, 2008), although some references to such studies are included when relevant to the issues discussed.”
Neural Coding of Cognitive Control: The Representational Similarity Analysis Approach. (2020, background): “Task representations within frontoparietal cortices (through interactions with striatum) are thought to mediate these dynamics [2,3,61].”
Complementary roles of dimensionality and population structure in neural computations (2020, methodology): “This was specifically the case for tasks requiring a flexible reconfiguration of input-output associations, a common component of many cognitive tasks [Sakai, 2008].”
Goal-directed decision making as probabilistic inference: a computational framework and potential neural correlates. (2012, background): “Single-unit recording studies in primates and complementary functional neuroimaging studies in humans have indicated that one important function of the DLPFC may be to represent task sets or “rules” (Asaad, Rainer, & Miller, 2000; Bunge & Wallis, 2007; Sakai, 2008; Wallis, Anderson, & Miller, 2001; ”
Executive control and decision-making in the prefrontal cortex (2015, neutral): “Executive control research focuses on the PFC function in learning and switching between behavioral rules or sets that guide action [1,3–10].”
Intrinsic and task-evoked network architectures of the human brain. (2014, neutral): “…via short-term plasticity (Yao et al., 2007; Zucker and Regehr, 2002) or via altered synchrony of oscillations among neuronal populations (Buzsá ki and Draguhn, 2004; Fries, 2005), possibly coordinated by the fronto-parietal control system (Cole et al., 2013; Miller and Cohen, 2001; Sakai, 2008).”
Abstract context representations in primate amygdala and prefrontal cortex (2015, background): “Context thereby parallels ‘‘task set’’ (Sakai, 2008) (i.”
Novel Verbal Instructions Recruit Abstract Neural Patterns of Time-Variable Information Dimensionality (2025, background): “Theoretical models propose that top-down cognitive control mechanisms organize and maintain the relevant information by creating “task sets” (Miller & Cohen, 2001; Sakai, 2008), with empirical evidence linking these processes to the Multiple Demand Network (Duncan, 2010).”
Dynamic internal states shape memory retrieval. (2019, unknown): “…prefrontal cortex) has typically been implicated in maintaining intentions or goals, e.g., maintaining task sets (Sakai and Passingham, 2003; Sakai, 2008; Bengtsson et al., 2009), task switching (Burgess et al., 2000; Gilbert et al., 2005; Rowe et al., 2007), maintaining prospective actions…”
