• EEG Spectral Analysis in Chronic Pain During Rest and Cognitive Reasoning (2025, unknown): “As frontal theta mechanisms participate in attentional control, research suggests that the posterior generators of theta oscillations (located in temporal and occipital cortical areas) facilitate memory encoding and retention [66].”
• Neural signatures of prioritization and facilitation in retrieving repeated items in visual working memory (2025, unknown): “Increased theta power during NRep items probe matching appears due to interference by repeated item representations, similar to frontal-medial theta power eects of cognitive interference (modulated by distractor strength) as suggested by Nigbur et al. (2011), Magosso and Borra (2024).”
