Rhythmicity Revisited: Evidence from Robust Behavioral Oscillations (2025, unknown): “We then examined whether peak frequency predicts performance using generalized linear mixed models with accuracy and RT as dependent variables to replicate another analysis from Senoussi et al 24 .”
Oscillatory signatures of monitoring and anticipatory strategies for probabilistic vs deterministic cues (2025, unknown): “…implicated in cognitive control, acting as a regulatory mechanism that influences the selection and implementation of strategies during decision-making processes ( Cohen & Donner, 2013; Ertl et al., 2013; Rajan et al., 2019; Riddle et al., 2020; Senoussi et al., 2022; Wendiggensen et al., 2022).”
Theta-Phase Connectivity between Medial Prefrontal and Posterior Areas Underlies Novel Instructions Implementation (2022, methodology): “In particular, in the work of Verguts and colleagues, mPFC theta oscillations signal the need for adjustments to reach the current goal (Verguts, 2017; Verbeke and Verguts, 2019; Verbeke et al., 2020; Senoussi et al., 2022), and achieve them by synchronizing the activity of task-relevant pairs of se”
Time-Based Binding as a Solution to and a Limitation for Flexible Cognition (2021, background): “Indeed, a recent study proposed that theta frequency balances reliable instantiation of task rules and the rapid gating of sensory and motor information relevant for the task at hand (Senoussi et al., 2020).”
Targeting neural oscillations with transcranial alternating current stimulation (2021, background): “For example, the peak frequency of the alpha and theta oscillation has been shown to shift higher or lower depending on task condition (Wutz et al., 2018; Senoussi, 2020).”
Causal role of cross-frequency coupling in distinct components of cognitive control (2021, background): “~ p < .10 in bold. shift in peak frequency towards lower frequency (~4 Hz) with nested rules compared to higher frequency (~7 Hz) with direct mapping of stimulus to action (Senoussi et al., 2020).”
Lateral prefrontal theta oscillations causally drive a computational mechanism underlying conflict expectation and adaptation (2024, unknown): “Interestingly, evidence integrating neural models with electro-physiological recordings suggests that theta oscillations can vary in peak frequency to accommodate task demands 73 .”
Frontal midline theta and cross-frequency coupling during short term memory and resting state (2022, unknown): “…memory load results in an increased average theta period, leading to lower frequency oscillations Axmacher et al. (2010); Moran et al. (2010)(Senoussi et al., 2022), This paper also shows that both FMT power and peak frequency both show a saturation curve, that further supports the…”
Neural oscillations track the maintenance and proceduralization of novel instructions (2021, methodology): “…favor of a more ﬁne-grained characterization of theta oscillations include variations in theta peak frequency depending on task demands and diﬃculty ( Senoussi et al., 2020 ), and diﬀerences in the functional signiﬁcance of high (posterior) and low (anterior) hippocampal theta ( Goyal et al., 2020…”
