Dr. Todd Braver (Washington University): Flexible Neural Mechanisms of Cognitive Control (CMB Large Conference Room , from 2009-03-06 12:00:00 to 2009-03-06 13:00:00) — by Jeremy M. Phillips

Research in my lab has focused on the neural mechanisms of cognitive control: the ability to regulate thoughts and actions in an intelligent, goal-directed manner. We have argued that such mechanisms, which involve a network of brain regions centered on the lateral prefrontal cortex, are highly flexible, and can operate in both a proactive and reactive mode. The proactive mode of control is future-oriented, preparatory and sustained in nature, while the reactive mode is transient, stimulus-driven, and frequently engaged by the presence of interference. I will present some recent work highlighting this theoretical approach, as well as the new directions it has taken us in examining the role of motivation on cognitive control.
