- Aperiodic neural timescales in prefrontal cortex dilate with increased task abstraction (2025, unknown): “The hierarchical cognitive control task developed for Riddle et al., 2020 was the same used for Riddle et al., 2021.”
- Multiplexed Levels of Cognitive Control through Delta and Theta Neural Oscillations (2024, background): “Here and in previous work, we matched participants ’ performance across levels of rule abstraction (Riddle, McFerren, & Frohlich, 2021; Riddle et al., 2020), which allowed us to dissociate delta and theta oscillations in the frontal areas involved in hierarchical cognitive con-trol.”
- Augmenting single-session behavioral activation for depression with delta-beta tACS: Preliminary investigation of a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized pilot clinical trial (2025, unknown): “For example, in a hierarchical cognitive control task where there were context cues that needed to be processed in order to make the correct decision, we found increased prefrontal delta oscillations and modulated motor beta oscillations that correlated with response time [39,40].”
- Reduction in left frontal alpha oscillations by transcranial alternating current stimulation in major depressive disorder is context-dependent in a randomized clinical trial (2021, background): “A recent experiment that delivered stimulation 460 targeted to inhibitory activity produced a decrease in behavioral performance and reconfigured 461 the targeted network, whereas targeting excitatory activity improved performance and 462 enhanced network activity [19].”
- Targeting neural oscillations with transcranial alternating current stimulation (2021, methodology): “One application of cross-frequency coupling is the ability for low-frequency oscillations in prefrontal cortex to couple to higher frequency oscillations in perceptual or motor systems in cognitive control (Canolty and Knight, 2010; Helfrich, 2017; Riddle, 2020; Riddle et al., 2021).”
- Prefrontal Hierarchical Control of Corticomuscular Coherence in Stroke (2026, unknown): “Phase-amplitude coupling (PAC), a type of cross-frequency coupling, quantifies how the phase of a low-frequency oscillatory activity modulates the amplitude of a higher-frequency activity [28], [29].”
- Back in time: Reversed speech as a window into cognitive language processing—A systematic review (2026, unknown): “A proposed neural mechanism for these network-level interactions are cortical oscillations and the cross-coupling between them (Aktürk et al., 2022; Riddle et al., 2020, 2021).”
- Distinct neural oscillations predict individual differences in feedback-guided cognitive flexibility (2026, unknown): “…of nested oscillations and specifically θ − γ coupling for cognitive functioning in attention and working memory ( Lisman and Jensen 2013; Brooks et al. 2020; Spooner et al. 2020) and global cognitive control ( Turi et al. 2020; Riddle et al. 2021), we prove here also its role in task switching.”
- Lateral prefrontal theta oscillations causally drive a computational mechanism underlying conflict expectation and adaptation (2024, unknown): “For instance, studies have demonstrated that the low-frequency phase in the delta/theta range modulates the amplitude of alpha/beta oscillations, re fl ecting control signals other cortical regions, such as motor and premotor areas 52 – 54 .”
